Our 2000 Volvo xc70 stationwagon experienced sluggish speed on a Wednesday - it did not like to accelerate. It was also going through oil, which the Volvo dealership said was "normal" for a car of this age - it only had 80,000 miles on it. On Thursday, the car would not start (it was very cold). We took the car to the repair shop and they found that it has oil pump problem that does not get oil into the engine. We therefore need a new engine. He also noted issues with the drive train.
