I REALLY wish I could say the same for my 98 S70. No major problems but a TON of minor ones: interior leather bubbling-up, bulbs go out, front speaker electrical short, both rear door locks broke (very fragile construction), gear shift button sticks, power steering pump squeal (also, always been hard to steer), windows roll down VERY slowly for some reason, sun visor lock tab broke, while adjusting rear-view mirror it broke-off in my hand, cup holders broke (very fragile).

I could go on. I bought it in 98' with 19k on it. I thought most S70 owners were all having similar troubles. They appear to be having some, but I think I am in the "lemon" category. I still have my 87' 240 wagon that has had a fraction of the problems the S70 has had.

I have a 01' Lexus GS300 now. MUCH better car. Maybe the 2000 model S70 was improved? You decide.
