Hi.
Have no experience with the 1.6 drive e but have herd they are very under powered and would belive this to be the case. It's a lot of car for a very small engine.

I only have personal experience with the 5pot engines and love them to pieces smooth and reliable volvo engine. But that's just me

The best, long lived and more reliable V70's have the Volvo 5-cylinder engines. Longer service intervals too :-)

Just thought I would give you guys an update.

Still have the motor only had 1 problem with her she went in limp mode once. Codes read point at egr. So cleaned it all up not had a problem since.

Now covered well over 2000miles in her with not a single problem.

She has had a full service and a remap 204bhp since buying.

The only annoyance is the boot handle does not return closed position by its self have to move it back by hand. Hopefully a good spray of lube with fixes this. (Just ain't got to it yet)

But over all very happy with her.

I'm averaging about 38mpg on A roads (hour to work) and about 42mpg on motorway trips (when the motorway is moving &#129315
