  Love it Love it Love it - 1999 Volvo S70
  By cpk_178 - December 22 - 10:00 am

  Bought my T5 on ebay, Love the visual lines, lack of blind spots, overall performance is incredible. Slight hesitation in the turbo boost is forgotten once the apparent endless flow of HP kicks in! I prefer my 5 spd to auto trans as the control over the HP makes the car a real trip to drive. Volvo also makes the most comfortable seats of any manufacturer I have experienced. The ride is solid and my upgraded Michelins have resulted in a ride that would rival most new cars. I love my T5 (my wife will confirm) and will drive it for many years to come... Only improvements are flimsy cupholders and that my turbo eats gas at an alarming rate (thats the tradeoff)

  Boring But Reliable - 2000 Volvo S70
  By GBW - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Safe. Solid. Boring. Electrical issues always. Fast enough. Real good in snow. Great local dealer. Expensive to buy. Cheap to own. Will look at Audi A4 in June, 2003. No interest in Volvos new designs.

  A solid car - 1998 Volvo S70
  By tmcdaniels - November 1 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car with over 151000 miles on it . It still runs like a top and does not miss a beat. The car is very comfy, great leather and seats. Super sterio. Solidly built, fun to drive.

  Little red beauty - 1998 Volvo S70
  By hampton3133 - September 10 - 2:19 am

  Just bought this beautiful red S70 Sedan, pristine exterior, drives with a nice low growly hum, 142K miles, black leather seats. Im hoping my first Volvo will get last me until my daughter makes it through college. The dealership was amazing. I also purchased a 100Kmile or 5 year powertrain warranty. Amazed the car comes with free roadside assistance. So we will see....

  They dont make em like this anymore! - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Anonymous - September 6 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my 2000 Volvo S70 GLT SE Turbo for 8 years (bought it used at auction) and its going strong. It has 105K miles and no sign of slowing down. As this car ages, little things need fixing. But the overall build and reliability are fantastic. I stick to the suggested maintenance schedule and am told I can get 250K miles out of it. I love the turbos torque as much as the top end smoothness. Ive never owned a car this long and its because I simply dont get bored driving it. Its not much to look at, but when youre sitting on the inside who cares. Bottom Line: FUN to drive and it never breaks down. Wish the S80 were a suitable alternative for when I finally trade it in.

  Volvo S70 - 2000 Volvo S70

  Great car except for the major problem that Ford inherited with the emission systems Electronic Throttle Assembly. Fortunately, Class Action lawsuit allows owners to have it fixed for free up to 200,000 miles saving you $1,000. Kudos to Ford/Volvo for doing the right thing! Handles well and is great for long drives. Front end rides rough over bumps but maybe because Im used to SUV tires.

  I Love It!! - 2000 Volvo S70
  By desi - May 14 - 10:00 am

  This is my 2nd Volvo. Before, I had a 1986 Volvo 740 GLE. I got 208,925 miles on that baby. And I would still have it if my son didnt total it in a car accident. The S70 is not as sturdy as the 740 was. There are too many electrical components to the S70 and I believe that is the problem. The mechanics are not fully trained on these new computer circuits and chips. Overall, I love the power of my S70. And, yes, you do tend to hear more highway noise then my previous Volvo 740 GLE. And, I agree the cup holders are a joke for such classy car.

  I just love my Volvos - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Paradise Boy - April 26 - 12:56 pm

  I had ordered this 2000 VolvoS70 SE ASR in 1999 and picked it up from the dealer in December 1999. Right from the start my wife and I had loved everything about it the comfort, drive, style and reliability that comes with a volvo. Now 10 years old and still going strong. I have had to do some maintenance nothing major. We loved it so much that and with the addition of children, in November 2008 we had purchased the 2009 Volvo XC90 to the driveway. The volvo S70 got us hooked on volvos and we never even looked at any other make. We love our two Volvos.

  Dependability, Reliability & Performance - 1999 Volvo S70
  By CDD - February 7 - 10:00 am

  Great car for high mileage drivers. I purchased my 99 S70 GLT in late 09/2002 and have already put 50K miles on the car. Mileage is now approaching 97K. My 1993 850 GLT had over 215K when is was wrecked & totaled in 2002. We also bought a 99 V70 in 07/2002. Both cars have required minimal service except routing maintenance. The turbo in the S70 GLT definitely makes a difference in acceleration, especially if you have passengers and/or a full trunk.
