1998 Volvo S70 glt review from North America
"Comfort saftey and reliability in one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the power antenna.
I have replace one power side mirror.
Last year I replaced the electric control for drivers side power windows locks ect.
Fog lights are a joke and have never worked right.
General comments?
This car is world class It still does 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds... its faster than factory specks and has 112,000 miles on it.
Gas mileage arround town 23- 24 on the road under 80 mph 29-32.
In snow with traction control it has always got me home or to the ski slope up some steep inclines.
It is a very comfy car to drive I have had 2 minor tuneups and it runs as smooth as the day I purchased it. I do use a quart of oil every 3,000 to 3,500 miles.
I would buy another...
