2000 Volvo V70 XC review from North America
"Luxury, comfortable car, which still has to prove itself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator lights faulted a few times (will be a recall soon, I was told by my dealer).
Locks itself occasionally when the rear door (station-wagon) is closed hard. Dealer cannot fix. Luckily I had keys always in my hand.
General comments?
Car is very luxurious, handles well (All Wheel Drive) especially on wet or snowy (Canada) roads. Too expensive for what you get.
Seats are comfortable, heated and very adjustable.
Car is still excellent, but I hate to think what might happen when the warranty runs out, because dealer is very "distant" and not cooperative. Recalls are only mentioned when I came in for a regular service.
