  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.

  Not as good since Ford influence - 2000 Volvo S70
  By Trader1997 - July 8 - 10:00 am

  The 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.

  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!

  2000 Volvo S70 - 2000 Volvo S70
  By J. E. Wheeler - December 7 - 10:00 am

  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!

  Great Car - 2000 Volvo S70
  By lorid - June 24 - 2:00 am

  The 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 am

  I 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.
