1999 Volvo S70 AWD review from North America
"Handsome, fun to drive, reliable bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced bearing in front wheel, and crack on the engine base ($1400). It seemed questionable later whether these were legitimate repairs, but I have no way of knowing now.
No other problems.
General comments?
Excellent performance.
Very comfortable. Lots of room in the back seat. My wife loves the seat heaters.
Completely reliable. I recommend finding a good private repairman and avoiding the dealers after it is off of warranty.
