Used 1999 Volvo S70 Consumer Reviews
Try one, you may just like it.
This vehicle is a pure pleasure to drive. The seats are very comfortable on long drives & trips. The turbo hesitates before kicking-in, but the power will surprise you for a five cylinder engine. Had only one major headache, difficulty starting that took over four visits and multi-days at the dealer before the problem was diagnosed and repaired. If you can avoid the dealership service, please do. Regular service averages about $300 and major service about $800. This doesn't include the big one at 60000 miles (timing belt).
I <3 my volvo
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.

A Luxurious piece of Garbage
Basic Sedan with climate control leather alloys and automatic. Stay away from Volvo's. If you care about safety get a loaded used Ford Taurus one years old with low mileage for 12 grand. if you keep cars for years get an extended warranty! I am in debt from buying a volvo and had to dump it before it killed me. Everything broke between 40 and 50K miles. get a factory extended warranty or something similar my warranty only paid for after market parts which screwed me big time. not to mention some things weren't covered. horrible resale value! im getting a focus and buying pillows at Walmart for side airbags.
S70 Volvo
I bought this vehical in 2000 with 18,000 miles on it. For all intents and purposes it was pre-certified and in great shape. I have maintained the vehical through Volvo and a more local lube, oil, filter shop. Currently has 85,000 miles on it. Very disappointed in that I have had to buy two sets of new rotars, a power steering pump, a new air conditioning compressor, and a new radiator. The driver side door hinge is also flawed. These items were also replaced on a 1996 850 Volvo Wagon that I owned. Not impressive.
A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
I have had multiple different warrantee problems from power window switch failures to fuel uptake problems. I also do not like the make or design of their bumpers, as they are not as sturdy as previous years. They mar very easily and are difficult to repair.
