Hi there, hope this thread doesn’t exist exactly like this. I’m new here and I’ve already read through one or the other article as a v70 driver, and I’ve received valuable hints. I like my car (especially because of its beautiful design), but as much as I’d like to get the new D5 with 185hp now, I’m just not ready to add more than 50,000 euros for a car that is annoying with many little things: – Rain sensor: does what he wants, just not what he wants, should – Driver’s seat: squeaky and crunchy – Wheels grind at full impact (refitted original Volvo rims with 225 tyres registered as standard in the vehicle license) – RTI Navi: No comparison to the devices installed in German manufacturers. Target guidance often wrong (partially huge detours), constant recalculations, hardly any traffic jams, poor display quality of the card… – Hazy, heavy circuit – Holpriges suspension In addition, a processing quality is added inside, which does not fit a 50,000 Euro car: – Cheap looking, not angle adjustable middle armrest – Cracking in the driver’s seat, which always occurs when starting – Open visible screws on the inside of the door – Use of cheap plastic materials (e.g. for the facing of the steering column, air outlet for the foot space of the rear seats (I accidentally bumped into the car with the vacuum cleaner tube, after that he had detached himself from his holder. You want to see a really super cheap version of this topic, look under your driver’s seat), door panel, door handles, luggage room blind, etc. – poor leather quality (even after 3 years very hard and cracked despite good care) – and and and and… This list could be continued. In principle you already know all that. These are maybe small things, but honestly: can you not expect something else for a car in this price range? Have you also got a I still have a 10-year-old Audi 80 convertible, which is processed three times better than my V70. And can still be switched with my little finger. A friend of mine has the new A6 with 2.7 liter diesel engine. Also costs no more than the V70 and is processed by another star. Don’t get me wrong, doesn’t want to advertise Audi here, but I would be interested to know if you have the price le is there a relationship with Volvo o.k.? Greetings, Bartimaus
