2000 Volvo S70 GLT SE review from North America
"A safe, comfortable, high-performance ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The turn-signal/emergency flasher control failed.
The crash sensor for airbag deployment failed.
The steering column ring antenna (for the encrypted ignition key) started to fail.
A relay for the electric right-rear passenger window failed.
General comments?
This car has lots of power and gets excellent gas mileage.
The seats are very comfortable and the various instrument controls are well placed.
The electronic climate control system works very well.
I have experienced a few problems, all related to electrical issues, but they have all been fixed under warranty.
