Volvo V70 is a smash hit.

It's a vehicle from 2006 so it's got some mileage on it, but it runs great, is very safe, and has plenty of room. No real complaints personally.

Laura F

Dependable family car that does it all.

This car is safe & reliable. It hauls whatever I need it to all, with only a few exceptions. Icy roads, snow, rain -- this car can handle it with ease. It reassures me to know that no matter what road conditions are out there, no matter what other drivers are doing -- we will be safe inside.

Pros from Owners

Rose B.

This car like all Volvos is sturdy, safe, and reliable. There's a lot of nice standard equipment and good options too, sports transmission, limited slip differential for example. More trunk space than most wagons with seating for 5 or fold-down rear seats for more space.

Cons from Owners

Rose B.

Volvos are somewhat expensive to maintain. New parts are costly but there are third-party parts available for a lot cheaper. Gas mileage is not great, 20-25 mpg, but it is a 14 year old station wagon so it is a trade off.

How Reliable Is The 2006 Volvo V70?

We have only had this for about a month now and we have had only one glitch, that of having to replace the cabin air filter.

David O.

Yes, it is reliable. My Volvo has problems with air conditioning, but it can be fixed. There's no major problems.

Jeanne L.

Is The 2006 Volvo V70 A Good Value?

Since we had purchased this vehicle as a replacement car, it cost around $6,000.00 and is in almost mint condition.

David O.

I got my car for $5,000, so it was a low price for a good car. The value for the price is way beyond my expectations.
