facts - 2000 Volvo S70
By northland - June 26 - 10:00 amComfortable, like wearing old jeans on Saturday morning! No problems after 36k, just oil changes and the 7500 mile visits to the dealership for routine filters, fluid level checks, etc. No squeaks or rattles. This car has the best traction in the snow with winter tires of several 4x4s Ive owned. This was my first Volvo, my wife also since converted from a minivan to an XC.

generally satisfied - 2000 Volvo S70
By objective consumer - June 4 - 10:00 amIve had minimal problems with the car since weve owned it. The biggest problem has been that the security system has malfunctioned three times and does not recognize my key and will not crank. Performance is sufficient--peppy for being less than a 6-cylinder. Comfort is good and the car is a top pick for long trips. Although this is an excellent vehicle, I still long for my heftier 91 740 wagon.

Last Volvo - 2000 Volvo S70
By Jeff Barnes - December 22 - 4:50 pmThis has been the most expensive car Ive ever had to own. I wouldnt say its very reliable either Warranty service was fair at best. I dread the check engine light going on. Thats never less than a $1,000. I like the way the car looks and drives but I cant afford it or can I rely on it.

Boring But Reliable - 2000 Volvo S70
By GBW - November 12 - 2:00 amSafe. Solid. Boring. Electrical issues always. Fast enough. Real good in snow. Great local dealer. Expensive to buy. Cheap to own. Will look at Audi A4 in June, 2003. No interest in Volvos new designs.

They dont make em like this anymore! - 2000 Volvo S70
By Anonymous - September 6 - 10:00 amIve 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.

Volvo S70 - 2000 Volvo S70
By Larry - August 10 - 12:13 amGreat 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.
