My son has a 2-wheel-drive 2011 XC70 with the slightly earlier 5-cylinder 161 bhp D3 engine, and he says that it’s the best car that he’s ever had.
A couple of years ago I had a test drive of a 2012 D3 SE automatic, and it was a lovely drive. I decided, however, that I wanted a V70 D4 SE Lux with 4 or 5 cylinders and that was that. In the end, I chose a VEA D4 after being very impressed by a test drive in one with 146,000 miles on the clock. The car still felt new and drove so well. The engine is so well designed and installed that it’s easy to forget that it only has 4 cylinders. 146,000 miles was too high for me at that time, however, as I was driving 25,000 miles a year and I wanted my next car to last more than 3 or 4 years. So I bought a D4 SE Lux with 98,000 miles on the clock. A few weeks ago, at 131,000 miles, it became clear that the EGR cooler was blocked, but this was addressed at Volvo’s expense. I must admit that I enjoy driving the car a lot and I would be very sad and upset if oil consumption started to increase. In short, yes, yes,yes. |
