"I've had this car for 5 years. The only thing I've had to replace was the timing belt (at 105000) which was scheduled mantenance and a fuel pump relay switch. The only thing that I can complain about is that the door panels have come unglued wich I've heard is common. Love this car and wish they were still made this way."

"Purchased the car used with 82K miles, have had very few reliability problems with it in the 30K miles I have driven it since purchase. Turbo motor has surprisingly good passing power, and the 4-speed transmission is decent for a 4-speed. Handling isn't really sporty, but it's fun enough on back roads if you're not trying to kill someone. Interior design is good, seats are awesome, and it has a great 8-speaker sound system with strong bass. I have gotten about 29-30 MPG highway (around 70 mph) and 21-23 around town. The turbo definitely sucks gas, but the mileage is decent for a sedan with this level of performance. It also has side airbags, unlike most cars produced around this time. Definitely a recommended car - not the sportiest, but a great highway cruiser."

"I have had the car for all most a year, it has 45000 miles on it. I do most of the repairs. when I need help the dealers dont want to give you any information, thay want you to bring it in for them to make the repairs. Buy the way, you cant find them in junk yards. I plan on keeping this car as long as it dont suck the bank dry."

"Talk about Faster than expected. Also pretty good gas mileage for a car with a turbo. But above and beyond everything, it's nice to know you are in a Tank."

"I owned a Volvo 850, and most recently, a S70 GLT which was without a doubt, the best car I've ever owned. While it's not quite as stylish as BMW, Lexus or Mercedes-Benz, it's just as safe, just as comfortable, and dead reliable. My only word of caution is to buyers looking at an example with over 100,000 miles. The S70 starts to need brakes, suspension bits, and other expensive things at around 120,000 miles. But overall, great solid and most of all, safe cars. I can vouch for the safety, my 850 saved my life in a crash. That same day I bought my S70. Do you need a better reason?"

"Having recently sold our '99 V70 GLT we soon realized we had made a huge mistake. I searched for months within a 150 mile radius to try to find a car to replace it and turned up nothing. Driving past a local lot one day I spotted a white 2000 S70 GLT. I pulled in and immediately called my bank with the VIN#(before the salesperson even had time to greet me). It was a wonderfull experience. I had my Volvo back! There is a "Certain Something" about thease cars. Unless you have owned one you may not understand. They are the perfect size, shape and style. Good for all occasions. SUBLIME Comfort, SURPRISING performance, and excellent gas milege. All this and wraped in the safest package around! Ivan Nokomis,FLA"
