Used 2001 Volvo V70 Consumer Reviews
think twice
IN THE FIRST MONTH I OWNED MY CAR IT FELL APART THE ELECTRICAL CRASHED THE BATTERY REPLACED AND GAS EJECTED BACK AT YOU!(SO MUCH FOR SAFETY) I NOW HAVE HAD MY LEMON FOR A YEAR WE WENT FOR A SIX MONTH PERIOD WITHOUT A PROBLEM UNTIL I ONCE AGAIN TRIED PUTTING GAS INTO IT AND WAS COVERED WITH IT DOWN MY LEG WHEN IT WAS BEING REPAIRED I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO COBWEBS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THIS HAS OCCURED IN MORE THEN ONE OF THE VOLVO MAKES!!!! YES THE VOLVO IS SAFE IN A CAR ACCIDENT BUT THE OTHER PROBLEMS ARE NOT WORTH IT
It does have some issues, but not bad
This car is very pleasant to drive, people compliment its looks all the time, and I feel safe in it. There have been annoying minor problems but the dealers have been gracious about replacements of parts w/warranty. Minor light bulbs, the mechanical cupholder, and the fuel door have all had to be replaced. I'm careful about maintenance, Mobil 1 every 4000 miles. It has hauled furniture and teenagers with room to spare, and is excellent for long road trips.
Superior performance..excessive troubles
I bought this volvo a year ago. The engine performance, styling, and comfort is like no other. However, I have had too many problems...suspension parts, rubber bushings, brake booster, light bulbs, turn signal relay switch have been replaced in a 12 month period. My previous Toyota 4runner I drove for 5 years and not one single problem. I had the opportunity to drive a Toyota while my Volvo was being repaired and I will say that even with the constant little troubles, the Volvo's ride, performance, and craftsmanship are way above the Japanese and American cars I have owned in the past. Conclusion....even with the little problems, I still love my Volvo.
What more could you want?
This is probably the best designed car I have had. Excellent ergonomics. Reliable. Lots of thought went into this car. This car is great on the highway and on dirt roads. The car has power, hugs the road during rain, and is fun to drive. After road trips, I'm ready to do things. Great seats! The interior and exterior color scheme is excellent. Good to look at and functional. No sunlight reflecting off of the dashboard. Nice leather stitching and interior combinations. Great sound system. Just a good car.
Best car yet
Excellent service at the dealor. Car is the best car I've owned so far! Fun driving, reliable, safe and sharp looking.
