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

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

Strange Design Oversights - 1998 Volvo S70
By Bill Sands - April 2 - 11:06 amLove 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 pmI 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!

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

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

Surprise... I am faster than you think!!! - 1998 Volvo S70
By Brian - May 15 - 1:03 pmI enjoyed my Volvo S70 GLT so much that I purchased another one. This time I bought the T5 and it is the same great car with a few more options and faster. No one can believe I purchased another 98 Volvo until they see my new S70 T5. The seats are the most comfortable of any car I have ever owned and the car got 28.4 MPG on a trip home which I drove 70-75 MPH. Front wheel drive for the winter and the heated seats make a great combination with a moonroof and cool A/C in the summer. The car has a distinctive look unlike many other boring new sedans.
