  A Mind Blowing Wagon - 2000 Volvo V70
  By Brad - November 29 - 9:00 pm

  I bought this car used with 89,000 miles on the clock. This car has TOTALLY BLOWN ME AWAY! Probably the best handling wagon Ive driven. Gets the same gas mileage as my old 4 cylinder Honda Accord. EXCEPTIONAL power (0-60 under 9 seconds) for a 2.5 litre, non turbo car with automatic. Better yet, it has been TOTALLY reliable in my 30,000 miles of ownership (YES, I drive a LOT :)) My only REAL complaint is the front cupholder that appears to be a toy out of a McDonalds Happy Meal. Also, I will probably go with a Turbo next time around since I do a fair amount of high altitude mountain driving. Although very peppy in normal driving, the engine DOES get short of breath past 4500 ft altitude.

  I love this car - 2000 Volvo V70
  By VolvoforMe - August 22 - 2:00 am

  This is my 3rd 700-series wagon. It is fast and comfotable. It has the worlds best seats, too. On dry roads, it handles like a sports car. On slippery roads, handling is predictable and confidence-inspiring. I love this car and definitely will buy another.

  Love my 2000 V70 4 Dr SE Wagon... - 2000 Volvo V70
  By Peatmoss - September 23 - 3:43 pm

  I bought this wagon 2 years ago with 126,000 miles on it. Im the 4th owner. As soon as I drove it I liked it. It did have a slight hesitation when accelerating but that turned out to be some sort of air module which was covered by a dealer recall. I got the car back and had the tie rod ends replaced, 4 new tires and an alignment and it runs like a new car... very smooth! I currently have a 177,000 miles and it still runs great! Not sure if its so reliable because it was built in Belgium (still has the Port of Entry sticker on it). I do mostly highway miles and have consistently averaged 27 - 29 mpg!! My goal is to reach 300,000+ miles!

  The way it should be. - 2000 Volvo V70
  By socajh - December 26 - 10:00 am

  One professional review states that the V70 feels like its carved out of a solid block of iron. Good, but a solid block of silk is what comes to mind, not iron. This is as true as ever after two years of driving it. Comfort, ride quality, road manners, reliability, and sedan-like convenience are all tens. Performance and handling are everything they need to be, no more, no less. And the brakes are simply astounding.

  Great Wagon - 2000 Volvo V70
  By Mr Mom - May 2 - 2:00 am

  The sport wagon title has certainly lived up to its name. Very solid feel and the 5 cylinder motor sings like a sewing machine with plenty of power.

  Exceptional Value - 2000 Volvo V70
  By beaver - April 6 - 12:26 am

  Great family car! We have hauled kids, pets, furniture, you name it and this car has weathered it all fantastically. It has so much cargo space that I even hauled a washer and dryer in it. Very comfortable on long trips. I love the turbo. This car has never let me down. I got the extended warranty to 100,000 and have hardly had to use it for repairs. Always serviced and maintained at the dealership. I love the look of this car and I feel safe driving in it.

  the Swedish icon - 2000 Volvo V70
  By herman_wiegman - July 21 - 10:52 pm

  Volvo has offered many generations of mid-sized station wagons. Only Subaru has been able to challenge the great value offered by the Swedish marque. The 2000 Volvo V70 wagon was the last year for the P80 chassis and it came with a great 5-cylinder engine in either normally aspirated or turbo format. The SE model was very popular and continues to satisfy many families as it ages gracefully compared with its competition.

  Safe/Great in Snow, but buy ex. warranty - 2000 Volvo V70
  By Nicole - November 15 - 8:30 am

  I love my XC. I wouldnt trade it for the world, but make sure to get the extended warranty, and make sure your service techs know what theyre doing! Great in snow, handled 2 winters with all season tires like a dream. Wouldnt dream of getting rid of it. Got hit by drunk driver in it, and car was barely dented. Its like a tank!!!
