Odd, but comfortable - 2000 Volvo S70
By techie - November 6 - 12:06 amWe bought this car for the safety and the incredibly comfortable seats, but we wouldnt buy another one. It has odd quirks, like the junky cupholders in the front and the lack of any trunk light, that are annoying for a car at this price level. The dangerous trouble with the jerky electronic throttle (ETS) really scared us, especially when we got the bill for the repair. Fortunately, Volvo did the right thing and reimbursed us for the repair and, at least at first, warrantied it for life. However the class action suit for this problem seems to indicate a shorter warranty. Its now a recall, so get it fixed before it stops working altogether.

Sure and Steady - 2000 Volvo S70
By Pugsleypie - October 4 - 9:23 amI have owned my S70 for 5 years. Its been very reliable, great gas mileage, and very comfortable seats. However, it has severe blind spots making it tough to change lanes. And forget the outside rearview mirrors - no help with the blind spots. The base engine has more than enough power and runs on mid- grade gas. Cloth seats are difficult to keep clean. This is a great car, but watch those blind spots.

Best used car I ever owned - 2000 Volvo S70
By Irontim - June 25 - 7:10 amThis is my 3rd Volvo and there is a reason that I keep buying them, and that reason is reliability. This S70 T5 is great. Its good on gas, comfortable and fun to drive, and its fast. I love to hear the turbo kick in. If I buy another car guess what... Volvo.

Not The Volvo of Old - 2000 Volvo S70
By Drewber from Texas - October 25 - 2:00 amThe S70 GLT SE is an excellent car. It possesses very good power, near-luxury comforts, stable ride on the road and good safety features. The sound system is unbelievable with an 8-speaker design. It seems as though Volvo is striving to imitate Japanese quality and apperance. Some of us still want boxy, heavy, classic car designs. Clearly, Ford is having a greater and greater influence on design - too bad.

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.

Great Car - 2000 Volvo S70
By lorid - June 24 - 2:00 amThe car has easy to use controls and handles well in the snow. It is a comfortable car. I like the split rear seats and the trunk space. I bought the car for safety and reliability. The only issue I have had is a defective battery. The dealership replaced it at no charge. The dealership has been great to schedule regular maintenance and even found a nail in one of my tires and had it plugged. The customer service and service has been good. I would recommend Volvo

Bought for the kids but now Im keeping this one - 2000 Volvo S70
By k_in_austin - April 14 - 1:31 amI love this car. I did buy it initially as a safe vehicle for my teens but it drives so much better than my 2004 xc70. This car is a hidden gem--the 2000 model year was the last year this was made, the last year of truly Swedish Volvos, way ahead of its time with side curtain airbags, also quite luxurious. Waited for a gem and found a base model with less than 100K, well cared for, bought for $4400. Have had it for 1 yr. I like that it is a great size, runs quietly, handles well, steering assist is just right, visibility terrific, seats comfortable.

Fun Well Built Car - 2000 Volvo S70
By weavy - January 8 - 10:00 amThe Car is a pleasure to drive everytime I get Behind the Steering Wheel. Its very entertaining to drive, and has a very playful agressive stance. The engine is very smooth as well as the transmission. I would recomed the car to anyone who needs a nice sporty sedan.
