My 2nd Volvo Wagon. Surprised to find it listed as a luxury car. The tan on my leather wrapped steering wheel comes off on my hand. I drive with my right hand on the passenger seat to keep it from rattling and the car has a rough idle(dealer says idle is "normal"). The V70 has distinguished itself by racking up over $1,500 in non-routine- maintainance costs in the seven months since the warranty expired. Other components had failed under the warranty period. Now that Subaru has turbocharged the Forester and is offering a leather package, guess what my next wagon will be? Originally bought a Volvo because of the reputation for safety AND durability.
Enjoy driving

Bought this V 70 GLT with 42,000 miles on it. Needed upper engine mount replaced, turbo oil seal, front cup holder, sun roof switch bulb all warranty items. Very good handling, acceleration. Roomy and excellent quality throughout. My experience is that most folks trash their cars except for the very basics. For example the previous owners changed the oil every 7,000 miles (Volvo recommendation). Unacceptable, no more than 4,000 at the most between oil changes. Condition the leather, brush out the seams regularly, keep it protected from the sun, and the leather seats will last.

I have owned my 99 V70 GLT since new. We have had very few problems with it. It does seem to burn through headlights and brakes quickly but other than that it has been very reliable and a blast to drive. We love our Wagon!! I am looking forward to buying a new one someday!
Look carefully

Bad gas mileage, poor leather interior, poor paint job, many minor interior defects (window button sticks, interior lights do not go off when door is closed, etc.)

I bought a volvo for the first time in '99. based on reputation for safety and reliability. Although it is a very usable cargo space and comfortable ride and excellent visibility, it has been a repair nightmare. I began having very poor a/c problems finally had to replace it under warranty, and the repairs on electrical issues, interior body hardware, (shift light, window controls, seat controls on driver side, wagon hatchback door)after the warranty expired have been very costly and don't last long. I have spent way too much money on repairs, hoping to hold onto the car for at least ten years, and it's been six and I'm giving up d/t repairs.Reg. maintenance made no difference. Sad story.
