These V70 / XC70's were the last proper Swedish tanks. We have these old taxis here in Scandinavia and some of them have over 700.000 kilometers on the clock. These cars can stand a LOT of kilometers/miles and are extremely safe vehicles.
Get it Polestar tuned for them; becomes a sleeper! You’ll want to keep it in sport mode though if you do, lol! Mine is a 15.5 pearl white/blonde with Polestar, 55k equally as clean (those are Weathertech, their poorly adhered bagels just fall off). I look forward to earning those mileage badges. She’s garage kept, dealer maintained, a professionally dealer detailed 2-3 times a year. We call her “the rocket.”
My dad absolutely loves his 2016 XC70 T5 Platinum! This is hands down my favorite Volvo of all time! You found a diamond in the rough with this one Jake, nice job!
Beautiful wagon, I am looking for similar car for myself. its hard to find a good one here in Canada! for your sure your grand parents will enjoy that beautiful Volvo!
In Sweden, with salted roads and a wet and cold climate, we regularly drive these to 350 k miles and above. Just remember your oil changes and general maintenance ;) 90 k miles is almost brand new, your folks are safe and protected.
Jake, totally appreciate & love your review, man. Looking at the same model , pkg , mileage, and a little less clean than your G'ma's ride. This and your followers comments may gave sold me on Volvos and this model. Thanks again - be well!
Wow. This is seriously a beautiful example. They just don't make solid cars like this anymore! I just bought myself a 2015.5 T6 XC70 with only 64xxx miles, not a platinum but the premier package. Wish it was fully loaded like this but I appreciate the features it did come with! Love the car and I'm so glad I got myself one
Was on the fence of getting one. This video definitely made it a little easier for the purchase.. I'm looking to get a 2015 XC70 T5 Platinum with 77,000 mi for $21, 000.. Seems like a okay deal with the prices of cars lately..
I remember watching videos of the subaru outback ll bean edition which got me into watching your car videos. I thought the upgrade to be a subaru outback 3.6r limited/ touring. This is still a big upgrade over the old car though. #surprisingupgrade
I bought the same xc70, 3 years ago. 4 cylinder front wheel drive 20k miles. ZERO options. Certified pre owned. For me plenty of power and I love the 30 plus miles per gallon. I kept my 2004 XC70 all wheel drive which I bought new for the nasty weather.
Has someone who's been actively looking for a Volvo XC70 for about a year it's a little infuriating how about 90% of the customers bought cream interiors
Absolutely beautiful car ! I have one myself, D4 AWD MY2015. We have two small children and safety is a priority for me. As soon as I opened the door I knew this was the right choice. They're ( doors) just a little lighter than the Smart car :) The perfect estate car for a family!
2006 XC 70, 181,000 km....A car that glides along any road, and when you put the foot down gives the feeling of total power as and when required. Volvo wagons...none better, no matter the age. Service as required, maintain them...a car for life. Nice info based review
Drive a 2003 cross country turbo 2.5lt. five cylinder all wheel drive ...expensive to repair, but I learn. Solid tank car, faster than any suv..most cars! My Wife is of Swedish decent. So that's good right.?!
We've just bought a 2015 d5 se lux version in the UK. We love it so much. Comfort, powerful, practical and rugged with a bit of off-road ability. Without the bills of an SUV.
I own a 2005 Volvo V70 with a 2.4 liter 5cylinder. It got 382.000 km (around 220.000 mls) and still runs great. It's a Volvo. They are almost like Toyotas.
Yeah the interior can feel dated but it also feels timeless to me, I love it's simplicity and functionality, there is so much going on in newer volvos with the tablet screen housing everything and these just feel right
I noticed this car is a little different to my 08, dash! Yours is much better! But everything else is the same, but there is no audio options in the rear or booster seats, and I’m sure you must have A/C in the front seats!
I have a 2015 T6 Platinum model with the exact same interior color, but it is an "Osniumn Grey Metallic" exterior and it has 40,000 miles. My other car is a 2012 Volvo C70 with 80,000 miles.
Thanks for this video! I’m on the fence between a 2016-2018 Acura RDX and either a 2016 Volvo XC70 platinum with 70k miles or a premium with 36k (both fwd models and both clean Carfax reports). I’ve been a long time Honda/Acura owner but have always liked Volvos and am thinking about making a switch. Any opinion or advice about my switch to Volvo and the two trim levels on the XC70s? Much thanks, Fran
From the engine selection for the XC70, which one has proven reliability over the other or which would be preferred if you are shopping for one? Thanks!
T6 or 3.2 would be my personal preference. They’ll burn oil but go forever otherwise. Honestly though anything other than the 2.0T which was only available for a year will be solid
Cars been absolutely flawless. Haven't seen it in a while but its got to be close to 100k by now and other than oil changes it hasn't needed a thing! Also one of these will feel like a couch on wheels coming out of a Jeep.
I'm a owner as well and you absolutely right Since 2009 China made But you gotta believe it this things are still a tank Is hard to tell if is Chinese made

People can say what they want but Volvo is pure quality. Very little problems. I have a V70 from 2004. 275000 km. No problems.

yeb, so do we over in icelad, and so does our cops

LOL. Jake, your whole family is going Sweed Speed! Nice!
The pinstripes on the hood actually triggers me haha.
How’s the Volvo 240 doing? Can you do an update?
Wow. This is seriously a beautiful example. They just don't make solid cars like this anymore!

Absolutely beautiful car. Such an upgrade from the Subaru

Your grandmother´s T6....that did it for me! :)))
It spent time in Florida. Probably less corrosion because of it.
I have that EXACT car! I friggin love mine. And I ain't no gramma.
I remember watching videos of the subaru outback ll bean edition which got me into watching your car videos. I thought the upgrade to be a subaru outback 3.6r limited/ touring.
This is still a big upgrade over the old car though.

My mum has a silver 2014 XC70 D5 with those exact same wheels, and all the safety bells and whistles. Had it since February 2015. The family wagon.
Peel those stupid pin stripes please!

Wow that car is so nicely speced but is missing the parking sensors. I’d personally always take parking sensors over a backup camera…

Outdated and old? What are you talking about? This is only 7 yrs old. It is practically new.
We have a 2009 XC70 and it's aging (170,000 miles) and we are considering a 2013 XC70. Mostly cosmetic changes from what I can tell, correct?
Just bought a 2009 with 100k on it. Might get a 2015.5 in 5 years :)
Honestly, first time see you driving cars. Love your ramblings cuz it gives me knowledgement about Volvo :)
These are nice, I'd drive this.
I don't mind your rambling.
Thanks for the car tour, Jake.
Defo you have to mention how easy it is to change the head lights ! Cause that's also a big plus
Love the personal updates, Jake! Thank you for making the time to take these.
recently picked one up and in love with it
Drive a 2003 cross country turbo 2.5lt. five cylinder all wheel drive ...expensive to repair, but I learn.
Solid tank car, faster than any suv..most cars!

To @Jakeman21642: *😸* Jake flexin' in HIS car like he ain't buy it. Classic.

P3 XC70’s are kinda growing on me... lol
I was on my way to getting a 2013 version of this in the bronze color but it sold before I had a chance to even talk to them about it.
I’m thinking of getting this car. What’s the reliability and cost of maintenance and to own of this car? TIA!
Ahh A "frisky hippo" best car i ever owned..... but Please, Please loose the pin-stripes !
The Volvo Family 😁
People don't k ow how good these cars are especially if you don't want an SUV/crossover
Looks very nice.
I have a 2015 T6 Platinum model with the exact same interior color, but it is an "Osniumn Grey Metallic" exterior and it has 40,000 miles. My other car is a 2012 Volvo C70 with 80,000 miles.
Update- I traded it in for a 2022 Mercedes-Benz E450 Wagon. I also sold the C70 because my wife traded her 2013 Nissan Quest for a 2020 Infiniti QX60.
Thanks for this video!
I’m on the fence between a 2016-2018 Acura RDX and either a 2016 Volvo XC70 platinum with 70k miles or a premium with 36k (both fwd models and both clean Carfax reports).
I’ve been a long time Honda/Acura owner but have always liked Volvos and am thinking about making a switch. Any opinion or advice about my switch to Volvo and the two trim levels on the XC70s?
Much thanks, Fran
which you chose? I've got RDX 2015 and thought about trade for T6 Platinium
From the engine selection for the XC70, which one has proven reliability over the other or which would be preferred if you are shopping for one? Thanks!
T6 or 3.2 would be my personal preference. They’ll burn oil but go forever otherwise. Honestly though anything other than the 2.0T which was only available for a year will be solid
Xc70 best car Volvo ever made, we have a 2016 xc70 classic platinum awd
Hair dryer and some GOO GONE will take care of the pinstripes.
Sweet!
How many people could fit in this car and had you drove this car on interstates lately
Sweet Volvo man! Can I borrow it some time? L.o.l. Good video.
Those pinstripes would be off as soon as I got the car home.
like the stripes. how is it holding up now? i am thinking trading in my 2014 wrangler JK.
Cars been absolutely flawless. Haven't seen it in a while but its got to be close to 100k by now and other than oil changes it hasn't needed a thing! Also one of these will feel like a couch on wheels coming out of a Jeep.
Can we get an update on the beetle
Interesting that the steering wheel is molded for 10 and 2.
Key Word "Visibility" Who doesnt like to see
Put the polestar settings. You won’t regret
S60 update and what are your plans for the Subaru
what camera are you using
Niceee…:) 🥂🥂🤙🤙
2:49 until they are dead
Yer craphics dont suit it but nice. 300 horse should be plenty for nan.
Love it, Beautiful
A nice find
Is this model already China's products, which mean make by China car company!?
I'm a owner as well and you absolutely right
Since 2009 China made
But you gotta believe it this things are still a tank
Is hard to tell if is Chinese made
FIRSTTTTT
I don't think it looks outdated at all!
