The only bad thing about this video is that it ends. I could watch 2 hours of this guy talking about Volvos, accelerating, and beatiful cars on display.

Thanks for an awesome video.

As a proud owner of the very same Saffron V70R AWD for almost 8 yrs, I must agree, that every single word in this vid is absolutely truth :) Very professional overview for such a rare and legendary model produced only in less than a thousand pieces :)

Oh and the IKEA shot in the end is very subtle. Yay for swedish products :D

My first car was a '97 T-5 V70 that engine sound sure brings back memories. Still one of the most fun cars I've ever driven!

My favorite video on youtube. I love that car so much

Turn down the music next time. Cant hear your voice too well. But the car is amazing so thats the saving grace

Video was too beautiful. Makes me truly miss my v70

I have a C70 T5, beautiful shape and what an engine. Nostalgic of those 5 cylinder turbo that modern auto with boring modern engine will never have.

Awesome video! I have a 1998 Volvo V70 manual with almost every suspension/chasis upgrade available and Ferrita exhaust. I can't stop driving this car on the backroads!

I absolutely love the P80 V70. My first car was a 2000 V70 SE. The first Volvo we had in our family was a 1998 V70 T5. The comfort, handling and solid build quality are superb. I recently drove a manual S70 T5M and fell in love all over again. These are some of the most satisfying cars to drive. They’re gas guzzlers though! Prepare to spend quite a bit at the pump!

Very professionally produced video, I had a V70 T5 estate new in 1998, the performance was staggering, so much so I only achieved 10,000 miles on my first set of tyres enjoying it!

Awesome vid, I never knew that Volvo made such cars back in the day. I really like the visuals and engine sound. The spoken audio could be a bit louder and maybe a bit more crisp, but otherwise it's a very professional video which made me enthousiastic about the car and its history. Well done!

Love my XC70 2.5T. all that and wheels offroad too. Stage 1 chip, K&N filter and 3" stainless Elevate cat back exhaust. Fully capable mobile livingroom.

Sound so gorgeous

This is the very best and my favorite car. VOLVO FOREVER 💪🤟👍

Goed gedaan mannen. Als T5R eigenaar krijg ik kippenvel van deze video 👍

Lovely looking car love the valvo thanks for this

I loove that sound! Makes me even miss my NA V70.

beautiful

I'm still owned this model, superb car

This car and content is amazing. That engine sound is just lovely.

Had two! Great cars!

my new favorite channel, keep them coming

Thank you great video and nice comments. You really like the car

What an AMAZING video, I love Volvos so much

Thanks. An incredibly well made video, so informative and well made.

I love my s60R. Thanks for posting

Thanks for a great video.I've a '97 V70 T5.It's true,things happen up the rev range.I do enjoy surprising people in a 22 year old wagon!

Absolutely love it 😍

Very professionally done! good job. I love the video.

Great Film👍🏼 I have the same car and love it...it’s reliable, comfortable, fast, can carry all the things I need to and easy to work on. Thank you for posting 👍🏼

Just bought 2000 V70R and love it.

Nice video guys! Keep them coming!

I love that sound! My car is an S70 GLT with the "light pressure turbo" So it is a bit more of a regular car. I would love to drive one of these!

Geweldige video!!!!

Volvo 💪💪💪 for life

Great Video👌🏻 You only say what the Owner of These Cars Love.And thats what i Love on my V70R FWD since i got it in 2009 Till today. They are stock strong,If you change A few Little things and a good Mapping you will Fall in Love again 😉 I will Never give my V70R away.No other Car can give me that Emotions and Daily use like this Thing does.

Might be going to look at a 97 awd model today. Kinda sketched out about the awd systems reliability but it's probably the best performance/utility car for the price.

Świetne ujęcia!!

Here is one happy 2006, manual V70R owner👋🏻 Got to say i love this car! Nice video btw!

My right ear enjoyed this.

Paar prachtige auto's bij elkaar zeg! En heel mooie shots. Ik mis mijn S70 T5 nu wel

very COOL and nice !!!

VOLVO forever!👍

Just sold my 2000 V70R. Now that my two identical 97 850awd's with 2.3's, and sticks, are on the road. Haha, and a trashed looking 94 turbo wagon, with excellent mechanicals. More fun, less furniture.

This was amazing completely changed my view on the car. Now considering buying one for my European driving car roadtrip with friends!

850 4 life!

Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

Volvo Power i love IT...

Cool. Vid. Well researched.

J'adore 🤩🚘👍

Lisen that while you siting in that car. Amazing fillings :)

Hi from 2020, best regards to my past volvo 850 t⁵r, hi from Russia )))

Man that saffron wagon is beautiful.

I'm happy with my 2002 V70 T5. 2.3L high pressure turbo makes 247HP and is quite the sleeper. 30 MPG on the road and can haul a crap load of band gear. Great replacement for my old 940 turbo wagon. My driving style doesn't need all the suspension tweaks as I'm an old fart that knows when to not drive like I'm 21. 4th Volvo wagon: '80 245, '84 740 turbo and a '92 940 turbo. My toes up car.

i keep hearing/being told. that my 98 R awd is less reliable. but here it is with 420 000km on it and has the original angle gear. i think it might just be the manual ones that die. manuals are inherently rougher on themselves.

Video is so EPIC..I really want a V70r! oh wait...I already have one 😎

Deze video is erg ondergewaardeerd 😉

I have a SAAB and love VOLVO!!.. I´m Swedish ;)

more vids of this old volvos!!

Leuke video! Snap dat een R (ook) van de linkerbaan houdt, maar dat rijden op de linkerbaan van een 60-80km/weg... ai!

More of dis car

Hey classics, amazing video u've done, dreaming about one of these rides but its complex to choose 1 of. Don't u think that 850 has more charm & old school style while v70 has more respectable interior and more suits for respectable people? give me ur choice. Luck!!!!

I'm on a mission...I want one..🇬🇧

This is the most Swedish I've ever seen.

Good vid but the wind noise n music rather intruding.. really nice driving roads for this type of car

Ooit komt er een op m'n oprit te staan, een van de kentekenplaten heb ik al, nu het budget en de auto zelf nog. (al dan niet met een topsnelheid van 480 kilometer per uur zoals TT5/Rstein heeft maardatdoeterniettoe :^)

Someone else has probably already said it, but the 850 T5R was NOT Volvo's first performance estate.... Look up the Volvo 240 Turbo wagon from the early 80's. The fastest estate available I believe. The the 740T Estate, also a quick car for its era. Let's not forget these iconic cars.

I have the automatic R AWD and it's going strong still

Prachtige video! Mag ik vragen welke muziek je hebt gebruikt?

How exspensive is a bevel gear replacement on these

Dreamcar

Great video! Great music btw a bit too loud tho!

N200 bij Bloemendaal toch?

I owned a 97 850R brand new, mine was black and had 75 miles when I got it. I learned to hate those 17" tires with the almost side wall. I wish they had made the Volans in 16" so the car didn't ride like a rock over smooth roads. I loved my car but it did have its deficiencies: Plastic dash mounts (engineers- Really? You couldn't make them metal?) so when you hit a bump when it's below 32 F they break and the dash squeaks. The auto transmission (should have made them all 5 spd manual) had main seal issues around 145k miles. And the cup holders! over the window switches?? My car somehow developed an electrical short at the fan one day when I was driving home, a slightly breezy day. That short developed into a fire and all I could do was watch the engine compartment go up in flames. That was sad to watch. I took very good care of that car too. I loved the look of the car and it was fast and a fun ride. I wish they would have made a 5 spd manual version with AWD and 16" Volans for the US market with metal dash mounts too.

want this family car

That orange color is really special and only really works with that body stile, it is almost as special as the “T-Gul” color of the 850 T5 and T5R but not as “exclusive” as the “T-Gul”. But I personally prefer the V70n R over the X70 R and 850 T5R.

Ultimate speed hunting machine

best 5 cyl engine's ever made

Ha! Dat Hollands accent ... dat blijft ge van kilometers ver horen hè. Grappig wel.

I`m dreaming about v70R II gen. in flash green...one and only good looking color on it

Gave auto! Automaatbak geeft wel een storing op 3:15, hopelijk valt het mee ;)

Recent convert. Yes.

My 06 p2r awd auto has 314k miles and timing was done at 197

Is dit Jim Spaansen??

Zag hem net op Marktplaats staan, jammer dat ik niet even 10K over heb want anders werd ik nieuwe eigenaar! 😎

I want that yellow one thanks

sweden

Nice video.... drop the music as I can hardly hear you speaking.

S70R FWD

Ummm... aren't we forgetting the amazing 245Ti and 745Ti wagons? I had a 245Ti manual car and it was one of the quicker cars in its day (1984) and respectable even into the 90s.

het geluid is zo gaaf! van die 5 cilinder

Why do you have wintermode on?

Top video! Alleen een tip is om de achtergrond muziek iets zachter te zetten

This is for all v70?

I bought a $200 volvo with 210,000 miles and after 3 years and 26,000 miles later the car still in my driveway waiting to be driven. I have gotten snarky remarks from people telling me my volvo is junk, bland and slow... they are right, but i will not sell/trade it.

Volvo is the best because you can buy fridge and deliver it to home and be first on the road using the same car

any chance you an make a video without all the background noise. your talkin, but cant hear you.

the only / atleast almost only reason you would ''convert it'' from awd to fwd is if ur driveshaft is fucked, i just bought a ''new'' one and its really expensive.
