I replaced my crashed volvo V70 with another V70 of similar vintage. The crash head-on was with a Citroen c3 driven by an elderly lady who was rounding a bend on the wrong side. I was forced into the hedge but we both walked away from our respective vehicles unscathed. Both cars written off and both drivers wearing seat belts.
Since that time I have not forgotten the solid build of a V70 and its multiple safety features of paramount importance and would only ever replace like for like. The present one is approaching the magic 200 K miles and purrs along sweetly.
