1998 Volvo V70 Std Wagon review from North America
"A reliable soccer mom wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
The Volvo V70 is very responsive and reliable for all driving demands.
It's braking, acceleration, turning, safety and maneuverability is fantastic.
The smoothness during freeway and city driving are exceptionally great.
For a standard 5 Cylinder Engine, the fuel efficiency and maintenance is reasonable in terms of cost savings.
However, the interior is spacious and comfortable for passengers to ride in.
The interior controls are convenient for drivers and passengers to operate.
