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)

Isn't it the 5 pot D5 that's the good one? From what I've read you get plenty of power but good mpg on the motorway?

Mondeo is not a bad vehicle, cheap and cheerful.
Personally after owning a volvo estate, it is the little touches that I like. Things that have been thought out. An example is the trigger to lift the rear seat base. The flat boot floor, level bumper and boot floor.

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...
