Great Alternative to Oversized SUV

Great alternative to Hefty SUV, this car provides reasoning to buying a car for hauling purposes. Design is classic. If you are in the market for safety, look no further. A wonderful starter car if you have never owned a Volvo. Volvo for life.

Got the car in late '04 with 45K (warranty was over in a month!) Reliable in most conditions and fun to drive. Poor city gas mileage(17MPG vs. +/-30 HWY). Frequent bulb failures.(LED in the hatch door was out from the beginning.) Service was expensive. (50K & 60K service fees are $320 & $595, and had some issues with dealership). Hope the car has better shock absorbers and cuts road noise(able to sense all the road conditions with my body).

Bought used and so far, we are pleased. The build quality and performance in the winter months is superb. Our base model though, is no rocket and can get bogged down in city driving. The gearing seems to be set for fast highway driving, which is fine by me.
Fingers crossed

My dad has had Volvos since I was a kid, both his 740 and 850 have 200k+ miles and only some odd repairs... not my 1999 V70. In one year we replaced left door latch, light dimmer timer, alternator, oxygen sensor, cleaned some part that got oily gunk in it, and the cam position sensor. It has taken 9 months to finally get the check engine light off. Fortunately for me my father-in-law owns a local mechanic shop and charges me parts only (still have put in $1200). My advice - if considering buying this car, drive it for 30 mins, stop for 30 mins, and drive again for 30 mins to see if anything shows up. This car is not very reliable and I'm really disappointed in Volvo.

We bought the car with 50k miles, lots of squeaks, rattles. We had to replace AC at 62k, cost $1300. I'm sure if I take it to the dealer they will find other problems. Overall a good car but I wonder about future reliabilty.
