1999 Volvo S70 review from North America
"The best car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing ever went wrong with the car.
General comments?
I have never had a problem with this car. I keep up the regular scheduled maintenance and it runs as it did the first day I bought it, perfectly.
The service department employees are extremely nice and treat me as if I am part of the Volvo family.
I have never owned a car that I love as much as this one. The exterior is the classic Volvo body style and the interior is luxurious and roomy. The panels of instruments are all well placed for the driver. The moon roof is an excellent accent.
I look forward to getting in my car everyday. Driving the car is the best part about owning it. This car does not hesitate a bit when you are ready to accelerate. The braking system is perfect; you could actually stop on a dime. It handles sharp turns as it would on a dead straight road. This car is fun and a pleasure to drive.
The car feels safe and is.
In my opinion, this has to be one of the best and safest cars ever made. I will own more and enjoy every one that I do own.
