This 1998 Volvo S70 is a beautiful machine. It still looks great as we have kept it in fine condition. People cannot believe it is 18 years old. The paint is still white and clean looking. The engine runs well as my husband has continually done the proper maintenance. The car takes off easily and quickly, going up the Harbor Bridge without any problem. The build quality has been sound and sturdy. The safety measures that Volvo took when they made this car was the best. I feel comfortable and very safe in this handsome car.

I really enjoy this car. It accelerates very quickly, and it's just a real joy to drive. There are lots of features on this model, too. Sunroof works seamlessly, as its auto-mechanically operated, and the other power options all work as one would expect them to. The body aesthetics are well conceived, and the rear spoiler option is a subtle, yet very welcome addition to this model type. Drivetrain feels strong and durable, and the ride quality is very sufficient for a car in this category. I also like that this particular model allows the user to change the shifting experience per the need at the time. Later models within this S70 model do not allow anything except for W or "winter mode" to be configured by the user. I like having the option to control that myself. It has slightly above average gas mileage based on my use, and the car runs cool even in this debilitating heat we deal with in Florida here. I also like that it has an auto off on everything after 20 minutes of staying on without actually running. You wont ever have to worry about this car having a dead battery because you left your lights on in the car, for instance. Overall, it seems to be well worth the investment, and I highly recommend the experience of driving one someday. If this one breaks one day, I'll definitely be looking for a low mileage one near my location to buy.

I bought the car back in 2012 from a used dealer in a city slightly to the north of me. I needed a car for a job that I recently acquired, and was on a limited budget. The car was comfortable in its seat, but very noisy and shook violently. The salesman assured me it would all be taken care of. As time progressed, this began to fall apart pretty quickly. A Check Engine light came on more or less the day after I bought it, and didn't go away because I couldn't afford the several thousand dollar repair that it needed. The issue, however, was problematic in that it caused my speedometer to fail, and my car to go limp. Once that was repaired, and the car doesn't have any other pressing matters, it is a very smooth drive, and a very pleasant experience given that it possesses basically every fancy feature (heated leather seats, etc.)
