What can I say that has not already been said. Very noisy dashboard, pathetic acceleration.. Air conditioner decides to stop working after its been working fine all day, wind noise, power door locks not working, and the locks in the back are at the rear of the door, very tough to reach... The need to always have the code reader in the car, just in case!!! Very poorly design throttle-body.. gets dirty really easy causing most drive-ability problems.. MPG not good for a small 5 cylinder with 5 speed manual low-mid 20's.. my 99 e320 with a v6 and auto 27+ mpg...

Excellent family car with high reliability and decent curb appeal. I've had no major mechanical problems over a three year period, and the car still drives like new. Engine performance, ride and handling feel like new.

1999 Red Volvo S70, aka. Cherry Bomb

I normally wouldn't do a review, but seeing how this had such a high rating...I had to speak up. I bought this car back in September and I've had nothing but problems. So far I've replaced the Mass Air Flow sensor, power steering pump and hoses, rear stablizer, part of the dashboard, rubber stripping on windshield, sensor lights going off all the time....I do a little prayer everytime I get in the car that nothing will malfunction. I will say it's a nice shade of red, and is a smooth ride when all is working well...

DO NOT be fooled when they say that this car is safe. My grandma would be dead if she wasn't driving this car. Overall, THIS IS AN AMAZING CAR.

This is my first volvo and I'm never going back! The car is comfortable on long drives, is reliable and has great performance in all weather conditions.
