Volvo V70 Super capacity, super looks, super performance... this wagon turns heads and can still get the job done.

I hear the 2001 V70 cars suck, what about 2001 T-5 5 speed?

Default I hear the 2001 V70 cars suck, what about 2001 T-5 5 speed?

There is a 2001 T-5 Five speed for sale near me for $6900. New water pump and timing belt. Car has 110000 miles.

Should I anticipate lots of problems with this car or are the 2001 problems only on the auto transmissions?

thanks!

Read the forum. All these Volvo's suck. If you want a good car buy a Toyota. If you want a comfortable and safe car buy a Volvo.

As an 01 V70 owner it is sad to see it bashed so much. Perhaps deserved, but my perspective is very different. 115K miles without issue. NOT A SINGLE FAILURE. The 5 speed auto tranny shifts perfect. Yes I did have the stop neutral function eliminated in the 1st 5K miles, and I did an initial fluid change at 70K and again at 100K. The ETM is still running perfect, but yes it worries me from all I've read. Am I the norm? Probably not from all I've read, but there are some good ones out there.
