Canadian S70 Review

I bought this as my first Volvo having driven BMW's for the last 12 years. The car runs well and the dealership in Ajax Ontario is 1st rate. They called w/i two weeks of my first service to ask after the service. They forgot to hook up a light in the consul but this is minor. They also called during the day to advise me of any changes. Overall the car is giving excellent performance. We see how it handles in the winter where we have minimal snow living close to Lake Ontario, 60 miles (100kms) due east of Toronto.

Seems there was always something wrong with this car. If you are looking to buy this car it is a MUST to have an Extended Warranty. If you don't you will go broke very quickly!!

This car was a problem from a month after I bought it. It wouldn't start. Back to dealership about 4 times on flatbed truck. Dealer was great. Car not. Then problem finally solved, and all sorts of little things went wrong. Antenna gear broke, driver's door hinge broke, trunk hinge broke, trunk lock broke, air bag stopped working, and a big thing, stalled on freeway. Never buy another Volvo. I'm heartbroken.

Blows lights all the time; constantly replacing. Master cylinder replaced at 61k!!! T5 eats tires (3 sets in 70k, z rated tires are very soft). Also on 3rd battery (1 covered by firestone warranty). Power seats do not always operate. However, sound system is very good. Uses 93 octane gasoline.
