Used 2001 Volvo V70 Wagon Consumer Reviews
Volvo XC Not after the warranty
I bought this vehicle in its 3rd model year and it had all kinds of kinks. Under warranty all of these issues were free ($6000 worth), but note that I sold the vehicle as soon as the warranty was up. Loved driving it; impeccable customer service and reasonable service prices but am not willing to pay for unreasonable problems.//I have 2 labradors and an infant who go with me everywhere. This vehicle has the space of a midsized SUV and somehow handles the road like my tiny 325i BMW.//With the car seat installed behind the passenger seat there is little room left up front--in that configuration, my husband is 6' and refuses to ride in the passenger seat as his knees are up in the dashboard
May need to buy another
My wife and I are used car buyers. Our 2001 XC70 w/ 28K looks and feels like a new car. Gotta love the looks of the XC70. I do not think of it as a station wagon, more a serious sports wagon. Rides like it is on rails. Car seems to like high speeds. Replaced original Pirelli's with Michelin's to reduce road noise. Car is now a whisper on the highway. Bought extended warranty which took care of some issues with suspension linkages. Service at Keystone Volvo is gold standard.

What Happened to Volvo quality?
4th Volvo, nothing but problems with major systems on this one. Exorbitant repair costs. They want to replace catalytic converter, A/C, transmission, seat belt, clogged filter to the tune of $10,000. My Ford Taurus lasted much longer for 1/3 the purchase price. Last Volvo for me.
WINNS CAR
3 YRS OLD AND LOTS OF STUFF HAS BEEN FIXED. THE REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS,THE POWER DRIVERS SEAT, THE PASSENGER SEAT IS A PAIN TO ADJUST, NEW FRONT STRUT, NEW RADIO & SPEAKERS, NEW CUP HOLDERS. WE HAVE TAKEN EXC. CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE ONLY STRONG POINT IS INTERSTATE DRIVING. THE QUALITY AND INTERIOR DESIGN IS POOR AND MY WIFE IS READY TO SELL. WE WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY MORE VOLVOS.
Love Hate Tolerate
Beautiful car, quality interior materials and exterior fit and finish. Outstanding fuel economy and extended range comfort and utility. Difficult radio set up, bulky A- pillars and out of place cheap plastic touches. The ride is detached for cars in this price range, light bulbs blow more often than you need fuel. The tranny went at 30K forcing an extended warranty purchase. Local Volvo dealer provides exceptional service at a price you would expect with this class of car. The car is far too noisey for this class. With 100k just around the corner a new Volvo is not out of the question although better cars in this price range exist.
