2001 Volvo XC70 SE review from UK and Ireland

"Ideal for a two Mastiff family!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front suspension spring failed, you could see where manufacturing fault was (90k).

Wheel bearings - need a new hub (80k).

General comments?

As nearly as comfortable as our S80 T6. Not as fast though :(

Have driven 36k in less than 3 years and have enjoyed every minute. It lacks sparkling acceleration, but boy can you carry a whole load of kit, including two very large dogs!

Our dealer has been great (can be a bit expensive though).

Racking up the miles at present, but have experienced no real problems thus far!
