2000 Volvo S70 review from North America
"Will never own another Volvo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Four way flasher
Alternator
Front end
Hood does not pop up correctly
Seat belt buckle is hard to undo
Power window switch failed
Remote control fell apart.
Brake caliper sized
Doesn't start below -25C.
General comments?
Pretty inside and out. I love the way it looks and I get comments.
Nice riding and handling.
Unreliable and expensive to fix. Very expensive to keep running due to the frequency of repair.
