Used 1998 Volvo V70 Wagon Consumer Reviews
1998 Volvo V70 Wagon
It's an expensive car with cheap hardware. It's fun to drive, somewhat economical on gas, fairly comfortable, very expensive to maintain compared to other cars I have owned. I would not buy another Volvo, as much I have always liked and admired them.

We've had almost all of the problems described in the above posts, plus the one year only emissions airpump, warped rear rotors and tire consumption. I'ts very disappointing in a $36K car. We actually want to love this car because when everything is working it's a wonderful, safe comfortable car. If Volvo had actually stepped up and taken responsibility for their design and quality mistakes instead of trying to gouge us customers from the '90s boom they may have developed some loyalty. As it is, they've created a growing demand for Subarus.

Purchased used V70 GLT Wagon with 60k miles and I have had nothing but problems. Car even came with all service records. Great to drive, very comfortable and lots of space. BUT car was in the shop FIVE times over an eight month period and I have paid almost $7k in repairs. I am in the process of selling. Volvo (sorry.....Ford) needs to make a more reilable car.
