"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...

If you have a GLT you don't go 0-60 in 6.4...sorry, that is the T5. You are just under 9 seconds.

The base S70s do 0-60 in about 9.4.

S70 GLTs make it in about 7.6.

The T-5s make it in about 6.4 (a bit faster without the slush-box).
