  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.

  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.

  Bring back the S70 body style!!! - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Turbomolar - February 14 - 5:43 am

  Most people dont realize how easy it is to customize their Volvos. With a simple ECU change, intake and exhaust upgrade, your S70 GLT SE can easily add another 40hp and 70torque. And upgrading to a lighter 17" aftermarket rims(I recommend the 17.5 lb. SSR-GT1 wheel.) with wider tires transforms this boxy grandpa car into a sexy, agressive, turbobrick! ;) I love my S70. Too bad Volvo stopped making this body style. Guess Ill have to get a XC70 next. Anyways...no real problems have arisen in the past 5 years(except for the turn signal recall that was easily fixed). Lets all email Volvo and tell them to bring the S70 body style back!

  For the most part, I have really enjoyed my Volvo S70 sedan. It is pretty good on gas (very good on the highway). I experience excellent driving performance on the highway. As far as in the city driving, 98% of the time, I get excellent driving performance; however, there are times when the driving performance is jerky.

  Great used car value - 2000 Volvo S70
  By coldax - October 22 - 1:03 pm

  Purchased 3/08 w/122K miles. Now 4/09 and 150K and no major repairs. Previous owner took good care of it, so if you shop for one make sure it was maintained. Mine has non-turbo engine, delivering 28mpg and less maint. issues. Seats are outstanding. Feels very safe inside. Nice blend of luxury and sporty looks. Car does not look 9 years old at all. Huge trunk and fold flat seats. My SE has leather, wood trim, 8 speaker stereo that sounds fantastic, heated mirrors, etc. I added a K&N drop-in air filter ($40-helps with mileage and acceleration), also added strut bar to help w/body roll in corners ($50 on ebay). I recommend for safety, comfort, looks & value: cost $35K new, mine was $3200!
