Too many electrical problems - 1998 Volvo S70
By kesh - January 18 - 10:00 amI liked the car at first but has been too unreliable. I had a battery replaced after 2.5 yrs and the new one went out again yesterday after 1 year only. I have had two door locks go out and multiple electrical parts replaced after the warranty expired. Volvos are very expensive to fix and costs have added up quickly. It seems like I have to take it in to be serviced every few months for one problem or another. Bought it for safety reasons and friends suggestion but never again. I will stick with a Japanese luxury next time.

Great car, very good service - S70 T5 - 1998 Volvo S70
By Will R - December 9 - 10:00 amMy 98 S70 T5 has the best characteristics of the old and new. The styling is not too stodgy, and its solid, comfortable and agile. Kudos to Volvo for replacing all four door panels gratis 2 years out of warranty when the plastic liner bubbled! 56K miles and still looks like new (leather is beginning to wear, though). New front rotors, plastic engine guard, couple of bulbs, cup holder broke. I keep looking at other cars but cant rationalize getting rid of the Volvo, which fits like an old glove, even if its repair record is a bit riskier than some others. I would buy this car over the newer Volvos any day.

if u can buy it you can afford to fix it - 1998 Volvo S70
By LUVMYVOLVO - October 2 - 10:00 amJust purchased very high mileage Volvo S70 GLT. 156000 mile on a 1998. Got a great deal. Volvos can go on for ever with a little bit of TLC. Encountered some minor power window problems and some instrument lights were out. Over all the car still drives like new. Repairs included-New stutts and mountings, one tire, balancing and alleignment--$750.00

Great Car Fantastic Durabilty - 1999 Volvo S70
By Chris - August 26 - 2:33 pmThis car is one of the best for reliabitly. Can be an annoying problem with electrical warning lights sometimes going off for no reason. Everyone seems to have that check engine problem. Car still looks and runs great.

Not as good since Ford influence - 2000 Volvo S70
By Trader1997 - July 8 - 10:00 amThe quality not as good as the 95 850 I traded in for this one. Steering looser, pickup not as steady or quick, handling not up to 95 standards. Have had nothing but problems from the day I drove it off the lot. Some major, some minor such as the ever present taillights going out. If I buy another, it will be the older 850 with low miles, its a better vehicle and more dependable.

Volvo S70 T5 - 1998 Volvo S70
By wf - May 14 - 7:00 pmOverall solid car. Fast runner. For a sedan, the Turbo really screams. Front tire traction becomes a little unsteady under extreme acceleration. Good in the snow. Looking at other reviews, had some similar problems, frequent bulb changes, leather door panels bubbled, some minor engine sensors replaced, lot of front wheel brake dust, wheel rim quality could be better, leather steering wheel gets gummed up easily. Front air dam is too low for most parking lots, gets damaged easily.
