I currently have a 99' NA S70. It has about 28,500 miles on it. Haven't had anything too serious happen to it. Everything that has happened has been replaced under warranty without any difficulty, including the evaporator which had bacteria in it. It was replaced after first trying to flush the A/C, that did not help too much so they replaced it (I live in a wet climate). Haven't had any problems with it since. Side door panels came loose, but all that was replaced no problem.

Nothing like the engine failing or flashing emergency lights on the console. Once you get used to your car, you know what it can do and when things need to be fixed.

I've heard of only a couple people having "problems", but honestly no one has said what the "major" problem was. Everyone I have heard from on this site has said something about a car magazine saying something bad. I have not had any real bad experiences. Frankly, it is one of the safest weighty cars ever with airbags and a good engine to get you were you need to go. We are not drag racing here.
