scootmuldoon · Mar 27th, 2013, 21:27

Hi all, just a quick question regarding a V70 im interested in buying.

1st of all are they any good as its the 185bhp model whereas i read that some people say the 205bhp model is better??

Im looking at buying a V70 AWD Se Sport 'R Design' and all seems well but i noticed that when i put the registration number into mycarcheck and webuyanycar etc it lists the car ok but theres no mention of it being an R Design!! I checked a couple of other cars with the R Design kit and they were listed as being correct.

The car has all the R Design feaures so could it just be a mistake??

Thanks.

Does it have the black and white leather seats? I think the older SE Sport models had perforated leather. My V50 09 is described as an SE Sport R Design and has been listed as either on places when you enter the reg.

It has mostly black leather with white stripe near the edges but doesn't say R Design on them. Just a bit curious as its not listing anywhere as being an R Design!! It has every r design feature though.

I have had two V70AWDs, both D5, both Geartronic. The first was a series 2 with 163hp and the current one a 205hp. The former was fine but was considering a re-map towards the end of my tenure. The current can be quite pokey if you want :-)
