The pros are durability and great mileage. I have about 140 thousand miles and have only had to do standard maintenance. I replaced a steering pump once. But that is all. I have absolutely no cons there is nothing wrong with this car.
It is very reliable and it is easy to drive. Most of the controls are easy to understand. It is very driver-friendly. There is also a lot of trunk space. There are even seats in the trunk that face backwards.
I do not have any cons as this car has been completely dependable for all the 16 years that I have owned it. This is my third Volvo that I have owned and it will probably be the last one that I will own.
It is an older vehicle, so we have had problems with maintenance things. For example, the windshield wiper fluid container leaks terribly, so there is no windshield wiper fluid. Also the 'Check Tires' light is always on, even if we just changed the tires a week ago.
The 2005 Volvo V70 has an average owner rating of 4.35 out of 5 which ranks it #9 of 19 other Luxury Midsize Cars.
