"Like a Rock"
My lawyer daughter talked me into my first Volvo for safety resons and I'm glad she did but for other reasons! Non-turbo has plenty of power for all highway situations. Gas economy is 23MPG. I'm happy with this at 150,000 on the odometer. Will go to 250 with this "baby". Very reliable in severe weather, especially snow. Would highly recomend as a used car buy!
There's a sucker born
There is a good reason why this dog is on the Consumer Reports "watch out" list and it's because the car has major defects. In my case the electrical system ran the battery down, six times in one year. Volvo couldn't fix it and kept putting in new batteries, I finally disconnected the nifty after blower and that fixed it...
Excellent Vehicle
We have been extremely satisfied with our Volvo. It has always performed up to standard for us. The controls are in good positions despite what the "Cons" for this car state. Required intervals are 7500 mi and it has not given us any major problems. The car is completely loaded with all that Volvo had to offer. Smooth yet responsive ride. Volvo has been nothing more than a pleasure to deal with. The AWD is excellent in the snow as are the Anti-lock brakes.
Sure and Steady
I have owned my S70 for 5 years. Its been very reliable, great gas mileage, and very comfortable seats. However, it has severe blind spots making it tough to change lanes. And forget the outside rearview mirrors - no help with the blind spots. The base engine has more than enough power and runs on mid- grade gas. Cloth seats are difficult to keep clean. This is a great car, but watch those blind spots.
Volvo S70
Great car except for the major problem that Ford inherited with the emission system's Electronic Throttle Assembly. Fortunately, Class Action lawsuit allows owners to have it fixed for free up to 200,000 miles saving you $1,000. Kudos to Ford/Volvo for doing the right thing! Handles well and is great for long drives. Front end rides rough over bumps but maybe because I'm used to SUV tires.
