Hello All,

I'm looking at a 2005 V70R with a manual 6 speed. I realize it is almost silly to ask what kind of mileage this car get because of its high performance nature. But I have some questions:

1) What kind of mileage have owners experienced with day to day driving that includes some local driving and highway driving?

2) Are these cars practical to live with on a day to day basis, or are they better suited for use on a race track?

3) Are these cars subject to more maintenance than you typical V70 AWD model?

Thanks to all who repond. I just want, if possible, to have some sort of handle on these questions before I take the plunge.

Hugh
