What 2 Years Of Volvo V70R Ownership Has Taught Me

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today I'm talking to you about what it's like to own a Volvo V70R and Volvo ownership as a whole, since I own 3 Volvos and Shifting Lanes owns 5 of them. A huge variety to sample from so if you're everyone wondering what it's like to own a Volvo, this is the video you need to see.

It isn't exactly maintenance free, as you have mentioned, but the smile you get behind the wheel is priceless. The exclusivity is one of my main draws to Volvo S60Rs. Let's be real for a moment. Who doesn't have a BMW? I don't want to be like the guy down the road. This isn't North Korea! Plus the S60R is a sleeper! Blow by cops and just about wave! Lol. Mine is stock of course. Pretty much at "zero". K&N filter that's all. 👍

    Hi Ryan...You did well there! I recently plunged in & bought a Xc90 V8..[2009]. What a move! In my youth, I had a Volvo P1800 (1963) which I bought for 250 quid (pounds UK) (It WAS a long time ago.) It had some rust issues due to the salt on UK roads, around the rear wheel arches...But I sincerely wish I had had the means to put that car in storage......because the rest of it was excellent...be worth a small fortune now, to be sure. What is crazy is that it did not make me a dedicated Volvo man.... Since then I have driven all sorts of crap....... and only now, since buying this Xc90 have I realised what I have missed in all those intervening years: Sheer Pleasure! I love this V8.... I love the quality build....But I almost went for a V70, I must admit, good luck with yours. Stay Safe.

I did the struts and shocks,radiator, pads and rotors, 2 coil packs,transmission fluid drain and refill. It will need new emergency brake shoes and i found a torn axle boot when doing the tires.(springtime job) Did the work myself. See if i can squeeze another year out of the car..

    We have been a Volvo family for awhile. We had a beautiful 2006 v70 and traded it in on a 2015 v60 with all R upgrades and seats and the did the polestar upgrade. It was one of the first v60s and it has every option of the time including the cross country chrome and its low and has the awesome wheels. I love it The seats are amazing. I bought a Tesla model S and I love driving the wagon. I think we will be keeping both for a very long time. Oh and we have that color leather. Omg it still smells like a new car.

You were a bit unlucky get in on the most finicky model -the R, After 240, 960, 855, V70R, very much yes to self labor, (get a Volvo, become a mechanic) especially for a car designed for execs to compete with Mercs and Lexus (luxury performance), guided toward dealership service, and problematic for mods.

    The Volvo V70R is the baddest wagon out there if you have the manual shift!! Automatic is great too if this is your daily driver. Because Volvo was ahead of pace with new technology there's always going to be quirks but the P2 chassis are solid vehicles. Our 2004 Volvo XC70 w/factory HID option is in great shape with 256k on the odometer. I'm a professional auto tech, so I obviously do everything myself and follow all the factory recommendations on preventive maintenance/repairs. Great video.

The pickup was a write off, but the drunk driver survived.My Volvo was dented severley but i was unharmed , my rear light blubs weren't even broken so the cops let me drive off after . Unfortunately the electrics were never any good after and I sold it after a lot of expense with computer items. Volvos are really safe in an accident! I now have a Subaru Forester. A reliable car but nothing like the character of a Volvo. Temped to look for a V70R after watching this.Thank you.

    Very interesting parallels... Came from NA Subaru that I thrashed the living heck out of/used in a winter environment/towed a car trailer with, when I had a backwoods mechanic shop in Iceland. I got myself an old V70 2.5T AWD 210 upon returning back home to the UK (around the thousand dollar mark, V70 R's cost 6-8 USD in the UK last time I checked), this year. I think I can see why back to zero status makes a lot of sense (if a meager 2.5T awd cuts it) ..... Yes... You're supposed to service all vehicles properly in theory, but in my limited experience it's as if my V70, despite having a bit more than the average grocery getter to boot, can keep on rolling (touch wood), with minimal investment, just so long as I keep an eye on it, topping up fluids and the like. For example; I suspect my PCV is utterly screwed, so I have pulled the dip stick out a bit in an attempt to give crankcase pressure a chance to escape until I have the time/money to deal with that, and a rear caliper kept sticking a while back when I was thrashing the old girl a bit; popped it off, squeezed it back in, checked on it periodically, and it hasn't stuck since.. ...more recently I felt the steering was getting a bit laggy/whiney, and just topping up the power steering fluid seems to suffice for the time being; the rack isn't wetting itself, 'nor has the pump given up the ghost after what must have been a bit of a dry suck. My blob eye 2.0 NA wagon was hard as nails too, but age related issues seemed to need addressing more quickly, and directly. I am not intimidated by the Volvo (just and no more!), but feel as if I have more of a buffer between seeing issues which need attention, and them being serious concerns/causing more damage if not addressed. It's as if I I have time to pontificate, and decide precisely what ought to take priority, in the ultimate game of making ownership a long term dealio.... This experience has most certainly planted a seed, an R is out of reach (yeah, I know!) for the time being, and I'm liking this old girl enough to slowly but surely address all of her mechanical rough edges and keep on enjoying oh so understated, smooth 5-cylinder powa :D

I love to be different to everyone else so Volvo tops the list for me. I love them all - older models are my fave. The P2 feel so much more solid than the V50 I had before. The comfort is amazing. I need to front spacers on my 2006 V70 as I fitted a set of beautiful refurbished Nebulas on it so they rub badly on full lock 😂👍🏼 I would much rather drive one of these than anything new, over computerised and badly made. New cars are going to be absolute money pits in a few years where older Volvos like this will still be plugging away 👌🏼😎 The Volvo community is unmatched for friendliness and comraderie. Gotta love a 5 cylinder howl 😍

    I have owned a few Volvo's starting with a 1990 340 GL 1.7 Renault engine with a transaxle with the gearbox at the bax with a de Dion rear axle, such a great combo. then got my self a 1998 S70 TDI, then had a 1996 960 2.5 which I crashed but still worked, then a 2004 V70 D5 and lately a 2006 V50 1.8 with 74k miles on the clock. That cost me £1100. Seems repair on cars in the US are extortionate compared to the UK. When I had the V70 my fuel pump died due to a secondary pump failed and the main pump run dry... Once the car had been fixed with a new pump and other fuel related bits the repair bill was about £360 all in all and that is really cheap being a dealer garage. Great video and you're being really honest which is good. As with other quality cars parts might be expensive but then you don't have to change them that often. 👍

    This is a beautiful looking V70R. I have an 02 S80 T6 and I'm in New Jersey, also (Essex county). I don't think of it as an old car, though some might. It's middle-aged IMO. This is not a "brick." To me, the bricks are maybe 100 series, 240s, 700/900s. The 850s were sleeker looking, less brick like. The P2s were Volvos departure from brick shapes. This is a wagon with an upright back but the s60 version of it is a very rounded shape.

    With the stage zero, I think it’s important to refresh the suspension on these. They’re heavy cars, and the difference between a car with worn out suspension versus a well sorted car, it’s night and day.

    I recently got a 2002 v40, it has already blown its fuel line! I replaced most of the line with rubber hosing. Then it started leaking from a pipe connecting the fuel filler to the tank, fixed that with zip ties. Working fine now, but I’m worried my injectors are blocked and that is why it’s blowing the fuel line. I got the car for £800 though so it’s pretty beat.

    I've owned a 01 V70XC for 6 years. Very comfortable easy to drive car but you are either a Volvo person or become one when you own one. You have to get to know the car and do some of the work yourself. Just taking this car into a shop and saying "fix it" will get you laid away. Some other tips: 1) Change oil often with synthetic oil...dirty oil will clog the pcv system, a huge chore to replace. 2) Use only Volvo spark plugs that are like $10 each. These cars just don't run as good with NGKs, AC Delcos, etc.
