This was my 4th Volvo and the change in body style took some getting used to. This is an extremely reliable, comfortable and safe vehicle. I have no major problems.My biggest complaint would be the tail lights bulbs seem to go out quickly, the cup holders are pretty skimpy for a $30K (new) car. It has never let me down and been most reliable.

When i bought this car I was very excited. I bought this because i liked the styling and the safety rating. i bought this in '98 it has about 107kms on it now and its been back to the volvo dealer so many times for door locks, window motors/conrols, and small things like that.

Would I buy another Volvo?

I bought this car because I wanted a sturdy car and one that would last. I have had good luck with this car and as long as I've performed the maintenance I haven't had any problems. Maintenance can be expensive at the dealership. I have a certified mechanic that only works on Vovlvo. I have no doubt I will drive this car for 3 more years and then pass it on to my 16 year old son. I wold buy another Vovlo in a minute if I wanted to shell out that kind of money.

I traded in a 2000 Legacy GT Limited for the 98 GLT. Much prefer this car (seats awesome, stereo great and wonderful engine)but there is room for improvement. Windshield wipers to slow, brake dust, along with other minor mechanical things (Oxy sensor). No real problems and plan to but new model when piggy-bank is full.

S70 Great Car

Volvo's S70 has provided me with excellent service. Maintaining the car according to mfr's suggestions will result in many trouble free miles of driving. The only negative was the frequency of bulb's burning out. Volvo corrected the problem but only after a couple of years of complaints. Everthing else has been trouble free. Great highway car.
