Could someone tell me the kerb weight of a '98 S70 2.5T 20v CD Auto please.
In an earlier contribution to this discussion, Not exactly - but it's going to be somewhere between 1400 and 1450 Kg. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

So I have been told before, and I didn't believe it. The handbook says the weight is found on the registration documents, and it is not. The S70 feels much heavier and more solid than the Mondeo I used to drive, which is the same weight.
In an earlier contribution to this discussion, Well, the figures I quoted are based on the 1999 brochure - although that isn't specific on engine/transmission/trim variations within the range. It gives the *minimum* kerb weight as just under 1400Kg - so the range I quoted should cover your model. It may just be that the body is stiffer than the Mondeo - but it doesn't necessarily have to be *heavier* in order to achieve that. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

The feel of a car has much more to do with body stiffness and the setup of the suspension than it does the actual weight. My 740 feels much heavier than my friend's Subaru but it actually weighs a bit less.
855 TDI - year 1997 Been on the truck weight scale for curiosity. 1610 kg (with about 30 litres in the reservoir)
