Volvo V70 D5 P2 Ownership Review: My Longest Car Journey Yet!
Hey Torque Steer , it's Luke here! 🚗 Welcome to another episode of Classic Torque Steer. Today, I'm diving deep into my 4-year ownership experience of the Volvo V70 P2, a 2007 model with nearly 200,000 miles on the clock. This is a special one as I usually change cars every 6 months, but this V70 has truly stood the test of time!
In this detailed review, I'll cover:
The initial condition and cosmetic fixes 🚗✨
Maintenance and repair costs 💰🛠️
Day-to-day practicality and driving experience 🚙
My overall thoughts and whether I'd recommend this car to others 🧐
Whether you're considering buying a Volvo V70 or just enjoy car stories, I hope you find this video informative and entertaining. And a big shoutout to everyone who's been with me since the beginning of the V70 series back in 2020 - your support means the world! 🌟

    I wrote a comment but it never seemed to work anyway it was me who msged you all those years ago and who owned the Volvo and cared for it anyway glad its still going strong i would check the front n rear engine vaccum mounts they tend to leak and are connected to the turbo boost solenoid so that explains the power problem sometimes, a channel on youtube by the name sirobb has great videos on this, look forward to all your future videos.

    I have a similar dilemma..I religiously keep.a.daily driver for 3 years then trade up by 2 or 3 years.But I really don't want to get rid of my XC60 2.4 manual.It's nearing the end of my usual 3 year cycle and I'm considering changing my rule after 3 years of 100% reliable trouble free motoring.

    Back to form for this one Luke. Great to see. I love a V70 P2. Especially yours! Watched the series you did way back. Glad it's still bringing you joy. I get the same feeling about my Audi Allroad C5, it's high spec, and the build quality is unbelievably good for a 21 year old car!

    It looks to me like you have the wrong settings on the Podofo. BT projection just uses the head as a display for the phone. The sound goes through the vehicle's BT audio.

    Watched your vlogs from the beginning with this car, great to see you have kept it and continue to enjoy it. The D5 engine is, if looked after very reliable and can do mega mileage. The seats are the comfiest you will sit in and the build quality of this period just proves why the car is still on the road. Keep up the vlogs on the car.

    Great vlog Luke. Volvos are great cars especially the older estates. My Dad had a couple and also the S90 around 2009 ish. I’m wanting hybrid next as had diesels for years but not spending the £40k and don’t do the mileage for diesel any more.

    I know what you mean about the newer ones in many ways not feeling like that much of an upgrade. I rented a current shape Rav4 recently and honestly, it was a good practical car but left me a bit underwhelmed... after all a new Rav4 isn't cheap.

  • @steveb6386

    On my second V70. First 2.4 normally aspirated manual. Second now I'm in the US is a 2.5 lpt automatic. More practical than an SUV, supremely comfortable, plenty quick enough. Back seats drop flat (with seat squabs removed-easy job). Oil and filter change every 5000 miles. Costs other than. Reconned A/C compreesor and pipe with pin hole. Two tailgate struts (not Volvo originals so not expensive). Rear wheel bearing. New injector rail fuel sensor (got rid of the cel), replaced all the vacuum rubber pipes to get rid of a misfire. I replaced the head unit for aftermarket. It has HID headlights that frankly I wouldn't have chosen as an option, take too ling to go from dip to main and very expensive bulb. Plus unless sealed the ballast unit gets water logged, mounted under the lights. I recently changed the timing belt, water pump and tensioner, take your time if you do it, failure to do it correctly is NOT an option! All said a great car. But make sure you give regular oil changes. Edit: not the best car I've driven, that was a 91 Saab 9000 Carlsson 2.0, no cat. Niiiice...but is the best vehicle I've owned for all round practicality.

    These volvos have a way of getting under your skin. Maybe it's the 5 pot warble. I'm on my second mk1 V70 (2.4 petrol), had to get another after my first died of rust. They're so cheap to buy and so practical. Mine loves a tip run lol. Also nice Rickyism at 9:25 lol
