I loved the v70 and put 110000miles on it with very few problems . The xc60 is much nicer to drive being a 205 bhp twin turbo . The build quality of the interior is not as good as the 20 year old v70 but that's what we have to accept these days. Do I regret selling the v70 ,yes. Do I love the xc60,yes.

I like the P2 V70's, but there's no leg room in them for such a big car.

That's a big downside, in my opinion. You buy a V70 mainly for room & practicality, yet there's no leg room for rear passengers.

Leg room was improved significantly in the P3 models, thankfully.

Gosh I hope not, last thing I want is for my car to be dribbling and leaving puddles everywhere like a puppy dog.


Just my opinion and a dislike of landrover s.
