I'm on my third Volvo. It can all be sumed up in three words: SAFETY ***** PERFORMANCE ***** and COMFORT ***** A great family car. I've kept two cars in my garage for over twenty years, one has always been a VOLVO the other a Toyota. You just can't go wrong with a VOLVO for your family car.......
Faulty Armrests

60 days after purchase (8/02), I noticed that the armrest vinyl on three of the four doors was "bubbling" "delaminating" and otherwise separating from the armrest. Despite being a "certified pre-owned" car, neither the dealer nor the corp. will touch this obvious and apparently known defect in materials/manufacturing in this otherwise excellent car. As a 15-year customer, I want to remain loyal, but I will likely switch brands next time around.

One word..Slow. My daughters Beetle Turbo and wife's Honda Pilot will eat this car for lunch on performance. The headlight problem was fixed on recall years ago. Front door panels replaced at no charge, should have had the backs done too. Other than that this car has been flawless. Ren 35lbs. in the tires and your treadlife will double.
ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

The S70 has many electrical problems, some minor and some major. Alternator went at 60,000 and both back door locks at 54,000 and 74,000 respectively. Transmission is showing serious wear and is not easy to change fluid. Many light bulb problems are there every 10,000 miles. We have a Vovo 760 with 190,000 miles and problems have been few , especially considering how much harder the 760 was driven.
Dependable car

As long as the car is maintained properly, it will give excellent performance and give a comfortable ride.The car is heavy and holds the road well. From the standpoint of safety, the car is heavy and the occupants can feel confident of escaping serious injury should the car be hit.
