v70 reliability V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Riverside V70 on  Sun Jul 4 14:23 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Any make of car will have some problems. However, it is difficult to know the general reliability of any model from forums like this because these forums are generally used by people who are looking for help with a problem they are experiencing. While you can see that some individuals are having some kind of a problem, it is impossible to know what percentage of owners have had that problem. Let me illustrate, I have a 2002 V70 that I have owned for 2 1/2 years with no problems. Does that mean that all 2002 V70's have been totally trouble free? I tend to think not.

You did not say if you are interested in a new V70 or a used one. If new, I would not worry about it; you are covered by a 4 year 50K warranty and Volvo pays for scheduled maintanance for the first 3 years. And if my experience is any indication, you will not be plagued with problems. If used, pay attention to the condition of the car and it's history. In either case, make sure you like the car and that it meets your needs.

Good luck.
