1997 Volvo S70 S-70 GLT review from North America
"The S-70 GLT is a complete package - Good ride, comfortable and loaded with with creature comforts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine light comes on, after checking there is nothing wrong with the engine.
Engine temp. guage will go from OK to cold and the
cooling fan will not shut off. Turned out to be heat
sensor on windshield was cold.
Door lock freezes and cannot put in key. This happends
at even 32 Degrees.
Gas filler does not have key to open only button inside
cabin. In cold weather it freezes and have no access
to gas filler.
General comments?
This car has every feature you would find on a expensive
luxury car. The Seats are beyond comfortable and the ride is top notch. However over small bumps it can be
quite jarring.
This car is is very quick and handles like a sports car.
Only runs well on premium fuel and is good on long trips.
However with all the features on this car it does not have a trunk light which is odd. also interval wipers only have one speed.
