1998 Volvo V70 Turbo 4dr Wagon AWD
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
This car was passed down to me, went from my older brother to my sister to me, we have all used this car for college. I have always hated this car because it is a station wagon, but this car won't die. My parents keep up the maintenance, they feel safe with us driving this truck of a car. It sucked up all my stuff that I took to school, has a roof rack but didn't need to use it. This car has features that my friends newer car don't have, plus this Volvo has AWD and does it come handy being at school upstate Pennsylvania. Oh yes hope my parents don't see this but the turbo kicks butt.

This is my first hands on experience with V70 XC. I have heard and read a lot about its safety, comfort and reliability, but once you drive one, it's a different experience. It is not as speedy and powerful as a mustang or as luxury as Lexus, but safe enough for those long trips or unexpected weather changes. Very easy to handle and safe with cornering. It's heavy enough to notice a smooth ride with out that road noise you would hear in most of the cars. I think I will keep this one for a while or trade it in for a newer one.

1998 Volvo V70 GLT Turbo 4dr Wagon
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
We bought the v70 GLT used several months ago with 55k miles, and are very pleased with the car. Very solid construction, no rattles or squeeks. Good acceleration, crisp handling, and great brakes. With routine maintenance, should be good for 200K+ miles, just like the 740 we had.
Good car, but some parts are non durable

1998 Volvo V70 4dr Wagon

This wagon has been very useful and never let me down on the road. I have driven this wagon to different long distance journey and it treated me well. However for a 12 year car with 142,000 miles, I do expect some wear and tear, but for some reason the most critical part of this wagon went out which was the passenger door lock where I couldn't get it to lock and could not get the rear cargo door to lock in it's place and I had to get it repaired otherwise there is possible internal theft. Both front driver and passenger door hinges had to be replaced because they broke of old age which was costly. There are a few more minor wear and tear items that went out.
tiny pieces of plastic killed the car!

Overall, we put 80,000 miles on a used 1998 Volvo, driving about 100 miles away. There was a lot that was good and reliable about the car. But, you know those tiny plastic clips that hold all the interior trim pieces together? In six months we seemed to lose at least one a week. Inside of the back hatch fell off....trim piece above the driver's knees.... the plastic covering the switch for the power windows.... Then the gasket around the door, and the rubber strips on the roof rack... UGH.
