'new' V70 vs. 'old' V70 V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Thu Aug 8 07:01 CST 2002 [RELATED]

We own a 95 855 and 98 S70. Overall, I like the new V70s. I would
still avoid the AWD until a Haldax system is introduced on the 70s
(search the archives for AWD issues). The S60 and new V90 have the
Haldax system already.

The new V70 also offers side air curtain which I think is important
with all the trucks and SUVs driving around with bumpers at the
head height of the occupants of cars.

I suspect a new V70 has no more issues then the older V70s. Thats
not saying they don't or one is better. More of a "six of one
half dozen of another" issue.
