Volvo S70 Review
Excellent car, the car had provided more than I would expect..Highly recommended for fun, sports and family...
Disappointed
Purchased this certified used Volvo with 35k miles. While fun to drive, reliability issues have plagued me since purchase. A/C required over $1000 of repairs, windshield washers stopped working; check engine light appears and disappears weekly. The antenna motor is louder than the engine. Add in the starting problem which the dealer cannot diagnose along with fighting with the dealership to honor the warranty and you will understand why I will never buy another Volvo.
No resale value!!
Besides the umpteen problems with the turn signals and burned out headlights (and door panels and serpentine belts and tires), we've loved this car. But the ABS sensor light is on ($1600), the A/C is out (AGAIN - $2100), and it's time to return to a Toyota. Unfortunately, it is worth only $6000 trade in...absolutely ridiculous. Volvo, you're way overrated.
VOLVO MADE ME CRY!
Excited during purchase, however, this Volvo was very disappointing. It was a matter of just a few weeks before the service department workers new me by name. The interior check engine line appeared every month. Numerous electrical problems: antenna motor, windshield wiper motor, blown headlights and tail lights. Great ride and fast, but the ride often took me back to the dealership.
Happy with my S70
This is my third Volvo, and by far the best. I had my life saved by my first Volvo and will remain brand loyal. The car still looks brand new when washed and waxed - also the interior still has the new car smell. Problems have been minor, ABS had to be repaired, check engine light comes on sometimes, but overall I am very happy with the car and the peace of mind knowing that I can live through a serious collision.
