1998 Volvo S70 review from Germany
"Great Vehicle!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The turbo injection system after 280000KM, costly repair!
General comments?
Outstanding performance, wolf in sheep skin!
I replaced my prior Volvo S70Turbo, Model 98 with another vehicle, yes another S70Turbo, Model 98, okay this time in black and not silver. In Germany the S70 with approximately 130000KM are presently cheaper than a replacement motor by a contracted dealers.
Easy driving and proper care of the S70T, you could be happy with approximately 400000KM on first machine, with maybe replacement or cleaning of the turbo system.
Volvo S70,2.4Turbo are Outstanding Flag Ships!
