1997 Volvo S70 T5 review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheep,s clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing to serious to date, however the right side brake light has a habit of registering as out! when in fact it's not?
Other than that glitch, totally reliable and awesome piece of kit.
General comments?
The T5 is not for the faint hearted and inexperienced driver, the speed uptake can be frightening especialy in sport mode. Drivers would do well to glance down and check what mode your in prior to accelrating.
The interior is of high standard and finish, also has oodles of comfort and support on long journeys.
Only down side I have with the the interior trim is the dash board top covering! tends to reflect back onto the windscreen in high sunshine.
