1998 Volvo S70 Base review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio antenna had to be replaced.
Check engine light came on. Air control sensor had failed. Cost $320 and warranty doesn't cover it.
General comments?
High quality, comfortable car.
Adequate performance.
Love the timeless looks and interior design.
