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!
