1999 Volvo S70 GLT review from North America
"Comfortable pleasure to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All I've done is change the fluids and replace all 4 brake rotors and pads. It really didn't even need them, but they were cheap and easy enough to do.
General comments?
I read all these reviews prior to buying the car, and I almost didn't get one because of all the negatives I saw. Well luckily they don't apply to my car because its been flawless and I beat the hell out of it too! I bought it strictly as a commuter for my long drive to work when gas prices spiked, but I drive it everywhere to keep the miles down on my other cars and it's a pleasure. Awesome car and I only paid $1500 for it.
