If you like to drive for the sake of driving, the GLT is the car for you. But, you should also love to work on your car. Yes, take it to the dealer and you will pay an arm an leg. But, with a little effort, research, and a willingness to use old parts -- you can keep this baby running like a top. As the natural evolution of the 850, there is a huge on-line following for tips, hints, and advice. I never worked on cars before but now I actually enjoy it. It won't corner like a race car, but few cars of this age, will give you the pulse quickening leap off the line, while giving you a great sense of safety and security.
Underrated and under appreciated

Simply put this vehicle is up to the task. I purchased it in 2000 and performed zero maintenance until it was paid for. (4 years). Currently, I replaced almost everything except body parts. That being said this vehicle has over 3 hundred thousand miles and is unbelievably quick. I have run up with 09 Mercedes "C" class of course with ease. So if you can perform your own maintenance that's a plus since most people are absent to how to work on Volvos and you will lose your shirt if you don't have repair skills. Happy driving.

Have had the car for 3+ years and experiencing same issues as others. ABC control replaced ($1000), MAP sensor, lights and more lights, weird shutter/noise from front end and more engine fault codes than I can count. No service available outside dealership which is over-priced, questionable and I am always treated poorly when requesting service. Door panels are starting to peel and waiting for the known transmission issues at 130K. Very disappointed in build quality considering price and reputation from years past. Had planned to keep for 10 years but decided to return to Acura (had my last one 10+ years and it was perfect!). Avoid this car unless you are married to a mechanic!
Best car I have owned....

and I have had many! I usually sell my daily drivers within a couple of years because I get bored with them. Not this S70 GLT. This ones a keeper. I think that says it all. I have a young teenager approching driving age and this car will be the one I will let him drive. Safe, reliable,and responsive just to mention a few things. Mine is red with creame and wood trim. Rear spoiler really adds to the look. Volvo made this model until 2000 and added all wheel drive in 99. I just might add one of them for my winter car and park my 98 for the winter just to keep it prestine!!
Running strong!

My car has over 220,000 and still runs great. Next to Mazda's old rotary engine, Volvo's 5 Cylinder's rated in the top 2 engines ever made.
