"Safe, very safe, and fast. Buy it!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

We bought the car from people who never took it into the shop for it's regular maintanance, but it didn't have too any problems so we got it anyway.

We had to replace a windshield damaged by a hail storm.

Transmission selector switch messes up from time to time.

Windshield washer pipes clogged up.

General comments?

Great car. Very reliable. It's my first car. Extremely safe. My friend had the same models. One day, he took a corner too fast and ran into a truck going around 50 MPH. The only injury sustained was a minor burn on the passenger's face from the airbag. He currenently owns a 1998 S70. Dual airbags on the dash, and one on each of the doors.

I also think this a very great car. I bought mine when it had 100,000 miles on it and I drive and average of 15,000 miles a year. The only things I have had to replace are the brakes and the front rotors. The O2 sensors are the only set back as they are always read as malfunctioning. Generally a great powerful car.
