1998 Volvo S70 T5 review from North America
"Solid, dependable, comfortable and RAPID!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo seals...
Frequent phantom check engine light.
General comments?
Fine car.
Plenty of torque and acceleration.
Remarkable gas mileage if you keep your foot out of it.
Reliable, but expensive to maintain.
