    I bought a same year v70 d5 this year absolutely love it so comfy and can move for a big car. I need to change the wheels tho as they are 225 and rub it’s meant to have 205 so I bought some v70 205 wheels but turned out they were off a mk3 and they have a smaller bore than the mk2 🤦‍♂️. Did not know this so sold tho and I’m still looking for a new set. Almost all marketplace wheel sellers don’t specify wheel bore so don’t make the same mistake. Looking forward to seeing what happens with this 👍

    Naa. The 2010 Volvo V70 and V50 were the best wagons ever made. V70 can be in an accident and the other car totalled and Volvo V70 will remain intact. Watch videos online. They use 3-4 grades of steel. They're some of the best made cars ever built. I have a V50. Next car will very likely be a V70.
