  2000 Volvo GLT SE Turbo - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Amy - July 19 - 9:56 am

  I bought this car used at 136k miles. This car handles like a dream and the turbo gets you out of situations like people you like to box you in on the highway. The A/C however is intermitant and dont know why. Going to bring it in to get that looked at. I want to feel safe with my new son and dont want a minivan and look like a soccer mom. There is plenty of space in the trunk for the stroller and groceries. I would recommend this car.

  This car saved my life last week. Totalled it and I was told I was very lucky to be alive. I wouldnt be here today if I wasnt driving such a safe car. The car had 92000 miles and had never given us a problem. Amazing car.

  Excellent Vehicle - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Merle - December 3 - 5:00 pm

  We have been extremely satisfied with our Volvo. It has always performed up to standard for us. The controls are in good positions despite what the "Cons" for this car state. Required intervals are 7500 mi and it has not given us any major problems. The car is completely loaded with all that Volvo had to offer. Smooth yet responsive ride. Volvo has been nothing more than a pleasure to deal with. The AWD is excellent in the snow as are the Anti-lock brakes.

  Excellent reliability, performance and comfort. - 1998 Volvo S70
  By chris_svedka - November 3 - 10:06 pm

  I have owned the V70 and S70 line of vehicles for many years. My 1998 S70 T5 is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. After owning one, and wanting a second T5, I drove over 400 miles, round trip to pick up another one. These cars are built exceptionally well. I have never had one leave me stranded. Every vehicle requires maintenance and an occasional part. Parts are cheap if you know where to look. Any mechanic should be able to work on these EASILY. They do not cost more to work on than anything else. If you insist on taking them to dealers out of warranty, then expect to pay. Knowledge and a little legwork will make these one of the most economical cars you can own.

  T-5 Power - 1999 Volvo S70
  By kruedy - November 2 - 10:00 am

  The car is very well built and has exceptional interior space as compared to like size American and Japenese autos. T-5 Turbo power is very impressive after you get used to the slight hesitation when full gas pedal is applied. Suggest getting service from other than a dealership, they are very high. Love to drive the car!

  Third time is a charm - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Delreybird - May 16 - 8:30 pm

  This is my third Volvo in 18 years.(I had the first one for 15+ years and 285,000 miles; were still driving the second one). Its been a great car so far, except for some electronics-related problems, all fixed under warranty. Its comfortable, has plenty of pep and gets excellent mileage.

  T5 Power - 1998 Volvo S70
  By Dave - May 1 - 5:13 pm

  I bought this car as my first car. It has 174K on the odometer. Performance- wise, once the turbo gets spooled up, youd better hold on to something. It has the rare 5 speed manual and this car really moves. Buried the speedometer in 5th gear just after shifting from 4th and she still had more to go. The stock sport suspension is harder than the GLT, GT, or Base, and is beautiful around tight corners, but is treacherous for leisure driving. Very bumpy. The cars seats are absolutely amazing. The leather seats in my dads 04 Passat feel like hard plastic chairs compared to mine. Gas mileage could be a little better. Definitely a good car once its broken in.
