In general I like the car. However, I have had some problems....frequent bulb changes, three batteries (battery just goes dead, replace it and it is fine for 1.5 to 2 years and then it goes again, leather on all inside door panel is puckered (Volvo refuses to repair even though this is clearly their responsibility), wears tires very quickly, problems early on with the brakes. Handles well. I would probably not purchase another Volvo because of Volvo's arrogance in not agreeeing to repair the problem with the glue on the inside door panels. Dealer very difficult to deal with and not customer friendly.
It's quite simple, really

The reason I bought a Volvo in the first place was for safety, as I barely survived an accident that bent my Honda Accord in two. It was truly the best decision I have ever made. I bought it used at close to 70K miles, and I haven't had ONE problem as I reach 124K. It's actually quite simple, really. Volvo's are the safest, most durable and reliable automobiles on the planet. Why would you even consider anything else??

This car saved my life last week. Totalled it and I was told I was very lucky to be alive. I wouldn't be here today if I wasn't driving such a safe car. The car had 92000 miles and had never given us a problem. Amazing car.
Dissapointed

I bought this car as a certified used from the dealer in 9/1999. The car had 35000 miles. The car has had many problems from day one. Dealer support has been terrible. I have had to fight with them to get them to cover the problems under warranty. Many switches/lights probelms, as well as cruise control, steering column and engine mounts. I have taken the car in for intermittent AC problems 7 times. The dealer cannot trouble shoot the system correclty. They changed all kinds of sensors and switches. The AC works for a while and then its dead again.
1998 S70 was a huge dissapointment

A huge diasappointment. Many electrical problems. Light bulbs constantly needing replacement, outsde temperature very inaccurate, power windows that work when they feel like it, a check enghine light that continues to come on after three attempts by the dealer to repair it. Build quality is lacking too, like cheesey cupholders, cerqking front end though I've replaced two tie rods and bearings.
