Reviewed a 1998 Volvo T5 Turbo on Jul 19, 2009
This and other Volvo's are often looked over as they are assumed to be heavy, slow, expensive to maintain, and boxy in looks. This car weighs jut over 3000 pounds, and is powered by a 2.3L inline five cylinder engine producing near 240 horse power and 270 ft lbs of torque as LOW AS 1250 rpms. 0-60 times are between 5 and 6 seconds, and the stock quarter mile is 14 seconds. Not bad for a 11 year old vehicle, eh? My 1998 S70 T5 currently has 123,000 miles and has only needed a brake caliper and an AC condenser (under $500 in repairs in 11 years!). this S70 has always been a Jersey and New York car, and still has absolutely no on its underside. It is built like a tank! I hit a dear dead on at 50mph and was able to drive home with just a slightly bent hood and shattered headlights. The interior is plain and straightforward, the steering wheel tilts, and telescopes(goes in and out, for those that sit really close or far away from the seat.) And the seats are one of the most comfortable seats you will sit on, a d also contain a whiplash protection system that coddles your body when you are in an accident, and prevents whiplash. The seat belts have explosive tensioners that will snug you into the seat in the event of an accident, the front air bags are almost not even needed. The side airbags are mechanically set off by steel poles in the sides of the seats, when you are hit in the side and one of these poles is hit, the airbag will go off. Between these steel poles is an iron block that turns the seats into part of the car in the event you are hit in the side to avoid the sides of the car from caving in. These cars are still used in Europe today in the police force because of the quickness, reliability, and there durability. I would buy another one in a heartbeat, this has to be one of the best overall vehicles I have ever owned. I am glad I chose this car over The Subaru's, BMW's, and Mercedes I had looked at... the price for parts and maintenance is as cheap as an American car. Try buying a brake rotor for a BMW for less than $60!, Try changing the brake pads on your Mercedes! oh wait you cant do it without hooking it to a Mercedes computer!

Though it sounds corny, my 1998 Volvo S70 saved my life. I bought my black 1998 Volvo S70 used in 2005 and would still be driving it now if I hadn't totalled it about a week ago on the highway on the way to work. A mini van in the breakdown lane was on fire, belching out thick black smoke. Blinded, I came through the smoke doing about 45 and smashed directly into the back of a Dodge Ram pick-up that had stopped suddenly. The entire front end of my car was smashed, and I veered into the guardrail, where my car got wedged. The airbags deployed, the windshield cracked, and the hood peeled up and back like an accordian. But I only had a scratch on my leg, some bruises on my arms and knees, and a bruise across my collarbone where the seatbelt held me. Everyone who has seen my car after the wreck can't believe I just walked away from the accident. As for reliability...other than a couple of repairs(front exhaust manifold after 120,000 miles) and the replacement of the fuel pump, which wasn't broken but needed to be replaced to prevent a serious problem down the road, the car was very reliable and ran great. I bought the car with 92,000 miles and it was going strong up until last week with 149,000+ miles. If it weren't for the average age of the S70s and the tendency for a lot of used ones to have high miles, I'd buy another in a snap. However, I just purchased a 2004 S60, so I'll let you know how it goes.

This car defiantly has a learning curve for repairs. Handling is superb. Quality is outstanding. Reliability and economy wise is amazing. Safety is outstanding and has lowered my insurance by 50%. I couldn't have asked for a better overall car.

Remember at the start of ninth grade when your lifelong pal Billy suddenly demanded that everyone call him Will? It was time for a new persona, a way to ensure social success on the high school scene. But in spite of all the hype he was still the same kid you'd known since kindergarten: good ol' Billy. That's sort of what happened in 1998 when the Volvo S70 was reinvented as the S70.
Just as Will got his hair cut and bought a few cool new shirts, the S70 likewise got a bit of a makeover. Some of the trademark Volvo edges and corners were softened, and the change was noticed. But the truly important stuff, the famous Volvo safety features, excellent handling, and quality Swedish workmanship, were not compromised but were in many cases enhanced. The interior was redesigned, performance and handling were upgraded, and the legendary Side-Impact Protection System, which since its inception has done wonders to limit occupant injury, was improved.
As with all Volvos (and most, if not all, European cars in general), maintenance costs can be a source of irritation. Replacement parts nearly across the board had to be the real thing, made by Volvo, rather than after-market money-savers. But that just ensures the level of quality, so it's not a big beef.
Even so, the maintenance costs eased somewhat (at least as far as parts go) after Ford's acquisition of Volvo in early 1999. After the takeover Ford parts fit the bill in some instances.
As far as user satisfaction goes, the reviews seem to run in thirds: those who've had no serious problems and highly recommend it, those who've had one big or recurring problem but still recommend it, and those who are so disappointed that all they can say is, “Run away while you can!“
All in all, the Volvo S70 is a pleasure to drive - a pleasure that's enhanced by the machine's suave good looks. Its professional appearance makes it ideal for the businessperson, while its outstanding safety record makes it the perfect family car.
