1998 Volvo S70 CD review from UK and Ireland

"This is one of life's best kept secrets!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Two rubber bushes had to be replaced.

That's all - That's Volvo reliability!

General comments?

This car has to be one of the most under-rated vehicles EVER.

I brought this car with 118,000 miles on the clock, but it looked and drives like 18,000 miles.

Recently after purchase I had Volvo look at the car for it's 120,000 mile service and they could find nothing wrong except two rubber bushed, which is fantastic for a car with this mileage (My V40 has just had it's 100,000 mile service where no fault can be found as well)

It is safe and EXCEPTIONALLY comfortable with fantastic ergonomics and build quality - feels great. I have full beige, heated leather and walnut dash with DUAL zone climate control and electric seat.

I have just completed a tour with four people around the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and a little of France and it never hick-upped once. This car is designed for driving and it enjoys every moment! I would trust it everywhere.

The engine sounds great with 5 cylinders and goes very well. I am 25 years old and I drive Volvo for their combination of safety, performance, build quality, comfort and total dependency and this one has not let me down! Even so, I have found one of the worlds best kept secrets!!!
