What a nice Swedish ride
2000 was the last year for this body style and we love it.
I Love It!!
This is my 2nd Volvo. Before, I had a 1986 Volvo 740 GLE. I got 208,925 miles on that baby. And I would still have it if my son didn't total it in a car accident. The S70 is not as sturdy as the 740 was. There are too many electrical components to the S70 and I believe that is the problem. The mechanics are not fully trained on these new computer circuits and chips. Overall, I love the power of my S70. And, yes, you do tend to hear more highway noise then my previous Volvo 740 GLE. And, I agree the cup holders are a joke for such classy car.
Great Sports Sedan
Only minor problems, and they were fixed under warranty: fauly alarm immobilizer, rattling headrest. Other than that, the car has held up very well. More than adequate power, although I wish the T5 would have been available when I bought the car in 4/00. I will consider an S60R, set to debut sometime in 2002.
generally satisfied
I've had minimal problems with the car since we've owned it. The biggest problem has been that the security system has malfunctioned three times and does not recognize my key and will not crank. Performance is sufficient--peppy for being less than a 6-cylinder. Comfort is good and the car is a top pick for long trips. Although this is an excellent vehicle, I still long for my heftier '91 740 wagon.
Third time is a charm
This is my third Volvo in 18 years.(I had the first one for 15+ years and 285,000 miles; we're still driving the second one). It's been a great car so far, except for some electronics-related problems, all fixed under warranty. It's comfortable, has plenty of pep and gets excellent mileage.
