I also have to climb on this bandwagon. Our 1999 S70 base has 31,000 miles on it, and our problems to date have been thus:

1) Passenger window switch came loose in first 2 weeks...replaced quickly under warranty.

2) Replaced each lo-beam bulb once in the first year.

3) Replaced each front blinker bulb once in the first year.

That's it. The blinkers have been fine since I replaced the bulbs; all I did was buy bulbs at Pep Boys and stick 'em in. No emery boards, no Vaseline, even. Ditto the lo-beam bulbs. Total out-of-pocket was $15 each for the headlight bulbs and about $5.49 for a 2-pk of the blinker bulbs. What's that? $35.49 in unscheduled maintenance? I can live with that!

We did have a 3-day rampage in October '99 where vandals keyed and spray-painted our car and a tornado/hailstorm peppered the bodypanels with dings. That's not the car's fault, though, and we had it fixed.

Currently, this is the best car we've ever owned -- it just drives. It's comfortable, reasonably peppy, and tolerably stylish. (we have the NA motor with manual trans) The interior is very solidly put together...well, it's ALL solidly put together. A hidden pothole in a dark parking lot got us once, we banged the frame on the ground at about 15mph, and it didn't even dent it -- just scraped the frame-member a little and took some air out of the tire. Didn't even knock the front out of alignment! These cars are built TOUGH!
