D5 is supposed to be a great engine
This. I've got the 2012 drivE/D2 which is fine for me power wise, I basically hate cars and never go fast. But it has had a clogged up injector and a failed clutch (ok not engine related but still) at around 130,000 kms. D5 supposedly has excellent longevity and lots of power.

Not so up on the ford era Volvo's, d5 went from being a single turbo 5 cylinder to a twin turbo and then a single turbo 4 cylinder right at the end before being the new ones. Which are all 4 cylinder and around 2.0 displacement.
V70 are nice, v60 is a jazzed up modneo, which is good and bad, good for driving, bad for space, and you buy a Volvo because you want space.
Those last V70 are mostly specced with mid powered auto diesel and tbh they suit that. Not exciting, but a nice place to spend a lot of miles. They are popping up for around 3.5-5k for good older ones (2007.5-2010)

Anyone have anything to say on Volvo V70 c.2010-ish?
D5 or D3? Anything to look out for? Any particular spec to have?
Thinking it might be a good cheaper alternative to E350Cdi Wagon for a while while I spend more money on some other important stuff in life...
