1998 Volvo V70 T5 TurboReview

I Bought This Car Thinking That We Needed To Have The Safest Car In The World... — I love that this car is safe but, I love it more due to it having a turbo 5 cylinder that is faster than my wife's V6. I don't like that the more it seemed to me that I fixed up something, my windshield would break, or replace the radiator and the gas tank would leak, this car has a gremlin, but I love both of them the same. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: I loved that this car was a find on craigslist and that I have upgraded it gradually. Cons: The car needed to have the upper strut boots replaced on both sides, and the radiator. Leaking gas tank, but other than that it was great! |

I Highly Recomend This Car — I bought it for $2,000 off the original owner. So far no issues and have put a 1,000 miles on it with no major issues. Power wise it has sport mode and it will surprise you with how big the car is that it can actually get up and go like it does and with the low pressure turbo and the straight 5 it actually does really well!. It is the ultimate sleeper because kids in Honda's will roll up and act tough and you can blow them off the line and burn em! I have got 24 mpg around town and about 28 mpg on the freeway. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: I love this car for what it is! Cons: nothing yet |

Unpredictable — I love the way the car drives. The space is great for family and pet. Gas is wonderful throughout the week for this car. However, the person that had this car before, did not take care of it and left little problem that may cause huge ones. I believe it can be saved and have many more miles to go. Brakes, and performance of the car made me feel very safe. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Drives smooth and handles the road. The look of the inside and out is meant comdition for year of car and under hood. Cons: Starting issues could be a pain. Brought from private owner and was not honest about repairs. So be aware of friends and scams. |

Fast Station Wagon — Good engine 2.4L turbo, very fast to be a station wagon, good stability and handling, very secure for all passengers. The bad thing in the US are the cost of the parts but anything else it is fine with this car Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Turbo Cons: Gas |

The Original Crossover — This is a good looking car that drives smoothly and safely around town and on all kinds of roads. It is comfortable to ride, is easy for the kids to climb in and out, and has plenty of power to climb up mountains passes. On more than one occasion the AWD performed perfectly where V8 pickup trucks got stuck. The backseats split in the middle and fold flat to accomodate what you need to carry. It had no problem moving a bunkbed and 2 mattresses after a visit to Ikea, and the kids were in the car too. Pros: Stylish and comfortable car that can handle a variety of road conditions. Kids love the pull down armrest for drawing and taking naps. It came with AWD, I would have gone without it, but now wouldn't own a car without the AWD. Many SUVs don't come close to the cargo capacity in this SW. On weekends I don't even think twice about what I want to bring, I know it will fit. Cons: Gas mileage is decent but not impressive. Strong engine has never failed. Electronics are not as reliable. |

Nope — Turbo lag, quite bumpy suspension, too low for the headroom, enormous boot, you cannot expect much on the appeareance of Volvo, but passenger safety are always the spot on all Volvos, quite high fuel consumption, but still it's a good car Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: safety Cons: don't buy it if you csnnot afford to much on fuel |

A- — Have had the car since it was new - 13 years now. Very little trouble - although the radio consol lights have failed recently and it apprears that you will have to repalce the radio if you want the lights back. Good gas milage - 26-27 on the highway Has been parked on the steet and the finish is still good. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Safe and reliable Cons: suspension is a bit firm - feel the road too much |

Very Solid Car — While it has a turbo, and gets 236 brake horse power, it's a Volvo, and there fore very heavy. Performance wise I'd put it above average. You can feel that the car has a lot of power. The weight also means I only get 22 MPG. It had 2 problems I was aware of when I bought it, a broken ABS module and a broken thermostat. The ABS module was mailed to someone who repaired it, and I bought a new thermostat and installed it myself. The only other problem I encountered was a broken engine mount. It caused a terrible rattling sound inside the car, but was a relatively easy fix. The car's look isn't too exciting. It's a Volvo station wagon. The exterior is as average as you can get. The interior, however, is great. It lies somewhere between luxurious and economical. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Sturdy, powerful Cons: Heavy, not fuel efficient |
