2002 Volvo V70 review from North America
"Probably should have stayed with the 240"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the big issue is the transmission, which has jerked me around (literally) for about 5,000 miles. It was then that the dealer told me I'd need a new tranny (!) after spending $500 to replace the transmission fluid. Otherwise it always seems to need something -- never have I taken it in for an inspection and emerged unharmed. Plus the parts are ridiculously expensive and insurance is too.
General comments?
Rides nice and it's really safe.
