1998 Volvo S70 review from North America
"A great car if you can fix it yourself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Concerning the brakes and rotors; I just replaced the rotors and pads at a cost of $100.00 (from Autopartwarehouse.com, all OEM parts). They usually last 40,000 and it takes 20 minutes to replace both. The car has been extremely reliable, and it withstands accident damage really well.
