  Big, safe, and good on gas - 1999 Volvo S70
  By volvo86 - November 2 - 2:36 pm

  I am very happy with my S70. I used to drive an Acura Integra and am very impressed with the fuel economy in my Volvo S70. The S70 is much larger than the Integra, feels much safer and gets the same fuel economy (both 30mpg). These cars cost over $30,000 new and are bargains now. Front and side air bags, Heats seats, head light wipers, cd and tape player, quality leather, dual zone climate, and other luxuries are what made me pick this over a used Honda Accord. Volvos also have legendary reliability and I am hoping this one will continue to be problem free. I have had problems with my Acura (aka Honda). I am having a much better experience with Volvo.

  Canadian S70 Review - 1999 Volvo S70
  By Martyn Wash - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought this as my first Volvo having driven BMWs for the last 12 years. The car runs well and the dealership in Ajax Ontario is 1st rate. They called w/i two weeks of my first service to ask after the service. They forgot to hook up a light in the consul but this is minor. They also called during the day to advise me of any changes. Overall the car is giving excellent performance. We see how it handles in the winter where we have minimal snow living close to Lake Ontario, 60 miles (100kms) due east of Toronto.

  Can I get Better Gas Mileage? - 2000 Volvo S70
  By 1st Volvo Owner - May 26 - 8:43 am

  Love this car. Roomy inside,wish it had heaed seats since it has leather. Our volvo is sturdy around corners and handles like a dream minus when you hit a bump. I am used to having an suv and miss having the room in the back for my work supplies, but I had to park my Escalade due to crazy gas prices. That baby gets 17mpg. I ge 23mpg in town and would like to see if I can get alittle better gas mileage out of it. If anyone has any ideas send me and e-mail.

  Best used car value out there - 1998 Volvo S70
  By Tarheel1 - April 5 - 11:03 am

  Bought this car to replace a 96 850 GLT. The turbo makes this car much quicker than the otherwise similar 850. Volvo did a nice job updating the appearance inside an out. The 5 cylinder engine is a perfect balance of reliable, smooth and economical. The GLT includes all the expected luxury features: leather, cruise, a/c, stereo, CD, cassette, remote, power win/locks/mirrors/driver seat. Safety, as always, at the top... the 850 probably saved my life and thats why I bought another one. This car is quicker and more sporty. I briefly contemplated a 1999 Saab 9-3 because of its more sporty nature but Im not dissapointed with the S70.

  Great Car - 1999 Volvo S70
  By Jefster - February 8 - 2:00 am

  My wife and I bought this car because of the safety ratings that volvo was known for. It has been a great car so far. We have has the same types of problems that other owners have had with the electronic system with it being very sensitive. I had to take it to the dealership because the check engine light was on and the reason for the check engine light was because of the gas cap was not fully on. I also had to buy a new cup holder and rear view mirror because I did not grease it.

  Its quite simple, really - 1998 Volvo S70
  By Genyk - January 26 - 10:00 am

  The reason I bought a Volvo in the first place was for safety, as I barely survived an accident that bent my Honda Accord in two. It was truly the best decision I have ever made. I bought it used at close to 70K miles, and I havent had ONE problem as I reach 124K. Its actually quite simple, really. Volvos are the safest, most durable and reliable automobiles on the planet. Why would you even consider anything else??

  Great Sports Sedan - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Shredderman - January 17 - 4:56 am

  Only minor problems, and they were fixed under warranty: fauly alarm immobilizer, rattling headrest. Other than that, the car has held up very well. More than adequate power, although I wish the T5 would have been available when I bought the car in 4/00. I will consider an S60R, set to debut sometime in 2002.
