Bought this yesterday:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

I had a 2.4 petrol v50 a couple of years ago and despite being teased for having a volvo in my twenties I loved it. In fact I kind of liked the teasing in a smug way.

Anyway, I commute between cardiff and Bristol so wanted something comfortable again and I think the v70 will fit that! Ride was not quite as cushioned as I was expecting, but it feels planted and stable.

This one has the inbuilt booster seats- great for my 3 kids. Lots of service history, all volvo main stealer except for the last 2. Just had 4 new tyres, disks and pads and tie rods. Cam belt done too

It's similar to how I remember my v50, but more. Very comfortable, wafty, lovely seats, great stereo. I think Volvos make so much sense second hand and I hope this will prove reliable for another 50k miles.
