echristodo Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 It seems like an overwhelming majority of people on this forum drive the S70 or '98-00 V70 as opposed to the S60 or 01+ V70's... Is there a specific reason beyond $? I thought that the S70 and S60 were largely the same car; albeit one is just a dressed up version of the other.

WhiteT5 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 S70 and S60 are very different cars on two completely different frames. Maybe you're thinking of the 850 and the S70 when you say that the difference of the underpinnings is quite small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're thinking of the 850 and the S70 when you say that the difference of the underpinnings is quite small.I was under the impression that the frame was similar. Either way, its a transversly mounted five FWD... they drive similarly too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiku Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 believe it or not, the S60 is smaller interiorwise than the 850/S70different frameturning radius for S60 is horribleharder to tune (well, more $$$) to tune the S60's than the 850/S70S60 is more money too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I still think that my 1990 740GL was the most solid car I have ever owned. Why I sold that I still cannot fathom... god I loved that car. Pras, your 850 fits into the 70 series category, you like them over the 60's? Are you really dumping it for a hyndia (word on one of the topics...)?

96PlatinumEdition850 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 98 S70 cause it's a Volvo, not saying the S60 isn't a "Volvo" but it's a Ford and well I don't care for Ford very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
