1999 Volvo S70 T5 review from North America
"Simply Amazing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Never had any problems with this car, just had to clean the throttle body every 30 000Km
Seats are slowly cracking
Low speed very big turbo lag not like my 900SE
Very bad traction during winter (might be due to my tires though not blaming Volvo)
Cd player does not read all burned disks : (
General comments?
This car is probably the best car I have ever had, very reliable has never seen the dealer, only for the recalls for the headlight switch and a throttle body software upgrade. Very comfortable for long distances and very very very fast. Low end lag is bad, but once you reach 20km/h and step on the gas man oh man does it fly. Sounds very mean and is very mean. Sound system is just amazing in it. Very great car highly recommend it to everyone!!
