Mine has got 135k on it and it's as tight as anything, the only trouble is it's way too quiet, I want to hear the 5 cylinder noise!

Quite a bit of tuning kit out there I think. I'd quite like to try one of the later model V70s out. My 850 had an open filter and the recirculating valve blocked off and it sound decent

They're not great Grant
Best I managed out of my 850 auto was 36mpg, driving like miss daisy over distance. Apparently some remaps can bump that up a little though. If you drive it fairly quickly (which is hard to avoid) it drops to around 15ish. I could get mine to sit around the low to mid 20s mostly though.
