Used 1999 Volvo S70 Consumer Reviews
Perfect Car
Hi there, this car has been awesome,it's safe. there have been some minimal problems one of the most noteable was a problme with the ETM, and theETS light came on the dealership took $200 and didnt fix it and then i got it fixed at another deathership for $100 and got my money back from the first (turns out it was simply because a clble was disconnected) aditionally the inition had some prob. the key was stuck insude ($100) the car gets about 300 miles to a 17-ish gallon tank,do the math)
safe, reliable, high performance
This is a great car for long trips. Comfortable seats (wife loves seat heaters). Everyone praises rear seat room. AWD is great in snow, and has good gas mileage unlike SUV (approx 18/25 city/hwy). Car is fast, handles great, stops great. 60,000 mi service is $1000, other service is every 7,500 mi and cost $100-200. We have done maintenance only. Our car is well used and has a hard life, it is completely reliable and feels more solid than new cars of other makes.

First impressions
Just bought the car last week. Very fun to drive. My only disappointment is the cup holders. They are too small and being located in the console lid make the console usless when they are full. That having been said, the car is a kick, very comfortable, sporty ride, luxurious interior.
volvo
my experiance with the volcvo has been some what dismal , it is not a very exiting or invigorating, Not to metion that it is not the most reliable ,we have had a few problems for example occasionaly we can not remove the keys from the ignition or the door may not shut properly . However over all the experiance was "ok" but not ovincing enough for us to get another.
Mechanical nightmare
Do not buy a Volvo! It is a racket on getting repair if warranty is up. No places do repair b/c of the cost for them to get software, therefore usually there is only 1 dealer in town that can do repairs and the take advantage of that. My S70 has so many electrical problems it is a joke and what is worse is the cost to fix. Really do your homework before you buy a volvo. I have owned many cars and it is by far the most unrealiable car I have ever had. good luck
