Shopping for a V70 T5-questions on some options.....

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 27 Jan 2005, 11:27

I am in the market for an '01 or '02 V70 T5. I have noticed 3 sets of wheels available in various sizes. Does the 17" wheel come with a sport package consisting of a different suspension, or is the suspension the same as those with the 16" wheels? Also how can I identify if the car has the bult in child booster seats (via pictures). Most salespeople don't know about the boosters when I ask them. I assume they fold up or are they removable?

Defferent wheels are just an option. All T5's will have the same suspension. Try volvo's website for pics of the booster seat option.

The T5 is a preformance car and gives a stiff ride. Ours came with Pirelli tires on 17" wheels that gave a solid ride--you feel the bumps. After 30,000 miles I changed to Firestone tires and these give a harder ride and still good traction. We do have booster seats and were a option on the car. On Autotrader, the listing would have to say that option. A picture would not help, unless the seat was up. Down would be very difficult to tell. I will be turning this back from a lease soon.
