  Best Car Ever Built...End of Discussion! - 1998 Volvo S70
  By jayandally - October 12 - 8:24 am

  I bought my Volvo S70 in 2000 with 24,000 miles on it, but sadly had to say goodbye to it this week. While it didnt get me to 300K, it did get me to 286,000. The only work I ever had done was sparks plugs & wires, fuel filter, radiator hoses and alternator. The car was rock solid and reliable. I was so impressed with the car, I bought another S70 - hopefully this one gets me over 200K also.

  Great Driving in the Sunshine State - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Sunny Volvo - August 15 - 10:00 am

  Love my Volvo S70. Traded in my Honda Accord and never looked back. Solid performer, great mileage, comfort, and not a problem after 40k miles. Service has been great locally.

  2000 GLT Keep It-Or You Will Miss It!! - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Ivan Lucas - August 13 - 2:50 pm

  I "tried" to incorporate a "9" in my ratings of perfect "10s" (to make it more realistic for non-believers). But there was not 1 particular category that I felt I should slight in any way. If anything the performance category it should be an 11, And the comfort a 12! If you own 1 of these cars (especially a Turbo) DO NOT SELL IT to purchase something "More expensive"(like I did). You will find there is NOTHING on the market (regardless how much you will spend) that compares to the comfort and performance this car delivers. The seats feel tailor-made. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are also in V-8 territory. Dont believe me? -drive one. And as for gas mileage - the turbos RUN ON AIR! I get 28mpg.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 1998 Volvo S70
  By MadeInJapan - July 12 - 7:40 pm

  I bought this car after selling a 94 850 turbo wagon that I had a love/hate relationship with. I got rid of it due to expense of taking it to the dealer, but I missed the power, comfort and the "fun factor." So, after owning a small Japanese car until it was paid off I began looking for a Volvo Sedan. I must say that I did a lot of research before purchasing this car. This car, when you do your own repairs is not a drain at all. I had the ECU upgraded and also beefed up the suspension with IPD swaybars. Its amazing!

  Love my GLT SE - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Joe_Volvo - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I have not had any major problems with this car. Have only been to Volvo dealership twice, once for a headlight problem and the other was the power antenna started acting flaky. Private mech. does all the maint. No problems. I wish they still made the S70s the 60s are to small. Cant wait to see the XC90.

  Strange Design Oversights - 1998 Volvo S70
  By Bill Sands - April 2 - 11:06 am

  Love this car. Looks like a family sedan to the outside world but step hard on the gas pedal and you are in for the ride of you life. Did not know Volvos were so fast. I am surprised to find that with all the quality built in the car is missing some basic items. There is no light in the trunk. Also there is only one speed on the interval wipers, very annoying. And the cup holders are an afterthought and very flimsy. Otherwise I am very pleased with this car and do not know of any other car I would consider buying. This is my first foreign car purchase and I am very pleased with the Volvo S-70 GLT.

  Excellent Used Car, Safe, Fast, Reliable - 1998 Volvo S70
  By Chris - January 29 - 1:06 pm

  I purchased this vehicle with 86k 11- 06. It is currently 4-08 and 108k. The ABS Module was replaced for $110 at the used car dealer, as was the thermostat shortly after purchasing. Factory rotors lasted 95k. AC Condensor was replaced in 2004. Hit a dear going 60, bent the hood and broke the glass headlight lenses, nothing more, definitely a solid car. Handles extremely well, 0-60 in 6 seconds is a blast. Not a car for your teenager, get the non-turbo or GLT for them. Zero rust!
