I'll say this..when I started looking into buying a Volvo..I wasn't expecting a speedster. Then I found this gem- a 1999 Volvo S70 T5, mother of god..this thing goes. I mean IT GOES. I am completely blown away about how fast this car goes. No one expects it. It's also very luxurious (very nice leather seating, wonderful sound system, heated seats)
Still rocking at 216k!

I don't believe in buying new cars, so I bought this baby used in 2007. Since many of the reviews here are several years old, I thought I'd offer my two cents for anyone who is considering buying one of these OBGs (oldies but goodies). This v70 SE had about 85k miles on it when I purchased it. Today (10 years later), it has 216k. I love, love, love this car! If you can find one in decent condition, buy it!! It has been a wonderful vehicle. Very reliable, safe, comfortable. Plenty of room in both the front and back seats, and generous trunk space. (It may not seem like enough to you if you're used to a wagon or SUV, but it is a great-sized trunk for a sedan.) Have taken several looong roadtrips (3k+ mi.) with this car, and can say that it's been fabulous! Smooth, great acceleration whenever needed/wanted, and after 8-10 hours in the car during a long leg of the trip, you can emerge unscathed. Super comfortable seating. Even after 17 years, I average 25.5 mpg, comprised mostly of in-town driving and some highway. Great steering, suspension. The idea of having to part with it at some point down the road makes me sad. I spend approx. $1k/year on repairs and maintenance (normal service, tires, repairs, everything). That amount would make me bleed from the eyes if the car was new, but this vehicle is mature, and some amount of replacement must be expected. When I divide that number by 12, I still know that I'm doing much better than flushing a ton of money down the toilet on a new car!

Purchased 3/08 w/122K miles. Now 4/09 and 150K and no major repairs. Previous owner took good care of it, so if you shop for one make sure it was maintained. Mine has non-turbo engine, delivering 28mpg and less maint. issues. Seats are outstanding. Feels very safe inside. Nice blend of luxury and sporty looks. Car does not look 9 years old at all. Huge trunk and fold flat seats. My SE has leather, wood trim, 8 speaker stereo that sounds fantastic, heated mirrors, etc. I added a K&N drop-in air filter ($40-helps with mileage and acceleration), also added strut bar to help w/body roll in corners ($50 on ebay). I recommend for safety, comfort, looks & value: cost $35K new, mine was $3200!
I just love my Volvos

I had ordered this 2000 VolvoS70 SE ASR in 1999 and picked it up from the dealer in December 1999. Right from the start my wife and I had loved everything about it the comfort, drive, style and reliability that comes with a volvo. Now 10 years old and still going strong. I have had to do some maintenance nothing major. We loved it so much that and with the addition of children, in November 2008 we had purchased the 2009 Volvo XC90 to the driveway. The volvo S70 got us hooked on volvos and we never even looked at any other make. We love our two Volvos.

This is my dream car. Bought it certified pre-owned. When I purchased it the check engine light was on. The dealership said come back in and we will turn it off for you. No problems passed 125 point inspection--mint condition. I have taken that car for service and one recall after the other and it's even shut down on the highway once. I have had a service bill of $1600, on several occasions and nothing under $700 for the 7 times its needed service in the last 5 years. I love my car and it is pretty to look at but it is a lemon. I just cannot afford the service anymore...which seems to happen every year without fail right around inspection time because that check engine light is on.
