"Like a Rock" - 2000 Volvo S70
By William Wellman - November 23 - 1:40 pmMy lawyer daughter talked me into my first Volvo for safety resons and Im glad she did but for other reasons! Non-turbo has plenty of power for all highway situations. Gas economy is 23MPG. Im happy with this at 150,000 on the odometer. Will go to 250 with this "baby". Very reliable in severe weather, especially snow. Would highly recomend as a used car buy!

If they could provide reliable service.. - 2000 Volvo S70
By Shelster - May 20 - 10:00 amI am an original owner. I love how the car looks and how it handles, and overall I love the car -- but I have had problems. The blinkers took 5 trips to the dealer to get fixed, then I gave up. Also, bulbs burn out on this car every day it seems. Goes through headlight bulbs every couple of months. Also, I had to replace the fan in the air conditioning. Also the check engine light was coming on, and the dealer told me that hardly ever happens - it was a $900. repair and the car was out of warrantee by 5,000 miles. Thank goodness the dealer ended up fixing it for free. What a blessing. I guess you can say Volvo and I really have a love-hate relationship!

good overall car - 2000 Volvo S70
By cube35 - May 3 - 2:06 amSo far I have been pleased with my purchase. Very comfortable on long drives and the power is adequate. I expected a more quiet ride for a car in this price range. Overall complaints are few except for road noise (on par with wifes previous Honda Accord) and the cup holders are a joke. Like the distictive looks and comfortable seats. Have not had any service issues.

236 hp on highways; 36 otherwise - 2000 Volvo S70
By Alibaba - May 22 - 2:00 amCar is very luxurious. The interior cannot be more than that. Bugs me that it is slow on picking up in town. Mostly due to its sport suspension which slows it down. Great on saving money; gas and insurance.

Great car S70 - 2000 Volvo S70
By Sean - December 12 - 11:23 pmI bought this car with just over 100K on it. Being my first Volvo I was unsure how it would hold up. I am pleasantly surprised, what a great car! Ive put over 10K miles on it and it just purrs. Went to synthetic oil and min. 91 octane gas my mpg is 25.2 / 34. The 5 speed shfits smooth and likes to shift around 4K on the tac., a very solid car. Im 62" tall and fit easily, but I dont think Id like to long in the back seat, a bit tight back there.

Low Reliability - 2000 Volvo S70
By n2b - September 9 - 1:46 pmGood Sturdy car, Safe, However it is difficullt to maintain. While changing oil and filters -- it needs special internal filter and needs special wrench. It forces you to go to a dealer for oil changes. No dip stick for checking transmission fluid. Ease of maintenance always increases a cars reliabilty. Engine hot light comes on occasionally while the temp gauge reads normal and with full antifreeze. The light goes off only after an overnight cooling. The electronic throttle light comes on and the engine stalls. Volvo has not been able to explain the problem. The dealer will clean the throttle butterfly but it might or might not fix the problem. Volvo refuses to issue a recall.

2000 Volvo S70 4 Dr GLT Sedan - 2000 Volvo S70
By Myprettyawfulcar - May 1 - 3:53 pmThis is my dream car. Bought it certified pre-owned. When I purchased it the check engine light was on. The dealership said come back in and we will turn it off for you. No problems passed 125 point inspection--mint condition. I have taken that car for service and one recall after the other and its even shut down on the highway once. I have had a service bill of $1600, on several occasions and nothing under $700 for the 7 times its needed service in the last 5 years. I love my car and it is pretty to look at but it is a lemon. I just cannot afford the service anymore...which seems to happen every year without fail right around inspection time because that check engine light is on.
