1999 Volvo S70 review from North America

So far nothing major, knock, knock on wood.

The antenna makes a horrible loud sound, every time that it goes up.

The back right speaker blew.

The passenger window's electric motor had to be replaced, because it was going down too slow.

The wood panel pops up a bit.

The leather door panels have been replaced, due to some bubbling.

And finally, I think the ABS is felt too often. I don't drive in a way that it should be activating as often as I feel it. It was checked out two times, but the dealer says it is fine. Has anybody else felt this frequent thumping on the brake pedal?

I love my Volvo.

My number one praise is all the safety features and that I truly feel safe driving it. It is solid and you can feel the difference when you drive other cars.

It is a bit sluggish when it accelerates from a complete stop, but once it reaches about 30 mph, it accelerates well. Most people who drive Volvo's are family oriented, and are not speeding anyways. (If you want speed try the S40.)

It is extremely comfortable inside and I love the classic look that it has. I constantly get compliments, and everybody thinks it is a brand new car.

I am really upset that Volvo stopped making this model, but I can't wait to get an X90 (SUV).
