2002 Volvo V70 consumer reviews

I bought this or my college son. Best value & reliability for the $. I’ve had just about every make out there & trust Volvo above all.

This is one of my favorite Volvos. iHave a 1992 240 sedan with 350,000 mi. i had a 1998 V70 that was totaled by a drunken fried.Thats the only reason i have this one. its a base model. but boy its the bomb ! Only and always Volvos for me.This is # 6 in 42 years.

Comfortable to drive, reliable, and plenty of cargo space. Awd makes this car great in the snow. Over 200k miles and still going strong! Would buy again.

Have not had time to drive it much but have owned other volvo and very good cars. Like any other vehicle. They have a problem here and there

Legroom could be a little better, but I've been driving it mainly on interstates and it suffices, Smooth on the highway. Tight steering and sits low, so I feel like I'm in a sports car--hugging the road. Hate to see it go. Painted the ugly black mouldings to matching the off-white body and it changed the appearance big-time. Beautiful car that still gets compliments at age 17.

I bought my 2002 Volvo xc70 back in november of 2017 with 107k. She ran for a good 6-9 months without any repairs only replacing worn out parts along the way. I was warned about the transmissions and ecu system in these but so far mine has stayed strong with it being a little rough at a cold start but other than that shes a beaut! Any used car is a gamble and any brand is a gamble they all suck

The instrument control cluster dim should be recalled. I've read they tend to fail all the time and I have no gauges. Apparently bad solder joints. Front struts have been an issue 2 clunking and loose. Apparently can come through the hood if they fail

There?s nothing better than pure comfort combined with utility! I?ve owned an older Volvo wagon and a Subaru Outback. The V70 takes the cake! This car does it all, kicks butt & takes names. I moved over 12,000 sq ft of items with this car, have taken very long road trips, and still never uncomfortable for hours on end. Volvo makes the BEST seats in their cars. Also good to mention that for being a wagon, this thing turns on a dime & brakes super solid. 10/10

Volvo V70 2002: currently at 236,000 miles and just getting broken in. The engine on this car is a workhorse, still has fabulous acceleration when you need it, and handles pretty well for the comfort level it provides. Front suspension can be an issue with these P2 chassis cars, and I have had to replace struts and sway bar links several times. However, with the rear seat down and lower seats removed, you have a full six feet of cargo space in the back of the car. Measured this up to a friend's pickup truck bed and realised that my Volvo has more cargo room! I keep checking out the newer Volvos but they don't have nearly as much cargo room in back, so I will be keeping this running for as long as I can. The body still is shiny and looks much newer than its sixteen years!

I love the car, but I did receive a rude awakening at how much electronic back ups it has. No going to a wrecking yard for add ons, everyhing is very specific to the car.
