I had a V70 T5 Cross Country, nice car, well put together, nicely appointed and quite reliable but the parts cost and dealer rates were both eye-watering.

Mate of mine used to have an s80 T6 - went like a stabbed rat! But as others have said - electrical parts are dear. And he had issues with autobox servo's...

But on the plus side, they're a nice looking motor, and plenty space inside. Cheap to buy now, and best looking for a top-spec one with the dash-mounted sat-nav/tv

IF its the same t5 lump as in the c70 avoid like the plague, big issue with failing throttle body, £300 for the part which can only last a year or 2, and needs dealer programming, plus fitting costs. No warranty back up....and the auto box's are made of cheese.

Although being a newer model I would hope they have sorted it by now?
