Incredibly safe for traveling.
Comfortable, safe vehicle. Interior is a bit sensitive, but if taken care of properly Volvo’s last forever!

One interesting thing about my car is black
The gas is very good on my Volvo! I've had this car since 2004 and it's been working well ever since! As long as you take good care of your car and get the oil changed you are good. The Volvo is a very good family car and I recommend it for everyone. If you haven't test drove one today you totally should. Stop by a local dealership today!

It's safe, gets great gas mileage, and only has 200 thousand miles on it.
I love my Volvo. It's the best car I have ever had.
accountCircle Maureen Z
It is made to last about twenty years and is also very reliable.
I love its safety features. I like that the seats go down so I can fit my walker in it. It is roomy and fits my needs. No complaints.
accountCircle David S
This car not only looks and drives good, but it is one of the only cars that is truly safe.
I love the car because it looks great, almost no bad parts. Drives great

The S70 is "Junk"
I have owned 2 of the Volvo S 70 cars and found that they are not the million mile car that Volvo used to advertise. Each car had a multitude of issues from electrical problems, transmission issued, to poor body engineering. We experienced metal fatigue in door hinge and hood latch assemblies. Not the bullet proof Volvos of old. The 100, 200, 700, and 900 series cars were nearly indestructable. I have owned these cares since high school and will not purchase another S70 or newer Volvo. Too much Ford and Chinese influence in the designs.

It's a nice size for a small family
It has a massive oil leak. That's what i hate about it. I like the color

Fragile radiator
Just gonna throw this out here if you drive the s70 NEVER pull too close to a parking curb. The bottom of the radiator is not protected and I managed to destroy 2 radiators is the space of a week. There is no skid plate if you do pull too far forward when parking ng and it gets up on the curb even a little it will break and you will lose your radiator. F*ckin plastic of all things.

Since I live in Texas, A/C is important, but my car is older and has a weaker ac system making some days pretty hot
My Volvo is a cute old car, however, it does tend to need regular maintenance and replacements. It has a leather interior which is my favorite part and gets me from point a to point b! It's only broken down on me once and is reliable 99.9% of the time.
accountCircle Alex G
Vehicle drives fine but has many problems as mileage is well over 250k. Inside is too small and compact for a baby car seat in the back. Perfect size for a single person with a pet.
When taken care it has great reliability and can get decent mileage.
accountCircle David S
Good mileage, strong engine, sound body.
Sturdy car, gets good mileage. The body does not rust, and the engine is pretty strong. . Overall, a good first car. Would recommend it for college kid just starting out and needs a reliable workhorse. Air condition works well, no transmission issues.
