1998 Volvo V70 R review from North America
"Jack of all trades, master of none - it does it all very well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
MAF sensor - very expensive
Some A/C hose - only about $250 to fix.
General comments?
The car is seriously quick and handles amazing.
Take one part SUV, one part compact, one part rocket, one part luxury, and put them all together...
0-60MPH in a little of 6 seconds (with IPD chip).
Corners almost as good as a sports car.
This car does everything really good, but nothing great. If you want a little of everything it's perfect. The AWD means fast launches on snow, rain, leaves, etc.
Starts well, runs well, stops well, corners well.
