Volvo’s engineers mated the powerful engine to a Haldex based all-wheel drive system that gave supreme levels of traction.

Jun 29, 2023 · I'm assuming they're talking about the 2004-2007 P2 generation V70R. There's nothing wrong with these cars in particular, but they do have some common failure points which may make them less reliable than their standard V70 counterparts.

It's done 383.000km (roughly 230.000mi) and has been maintained in the same Volvo service until 350.000km. I'm the third owner and bought it from a Volvo enthusiast who also owned a 240turbo, V70r, etc...

May 6, 2020 · I've got a 2004 V70R in neat-o Flash Green with Atacama interior and a lovely M66 gearbox with almost 200k miles on it. I've "ruined" the suspension by ditching the fully functional 4c system in lieu of some BC Racing coilovers.
