1997 Volvo V70 SE review from UK and Ireland

"Comfortable, but poor quality and sluggish"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

ABS control module needed replaced.

Leak from roof rail mounts into the rear.

Drivers electric window switch packed up - twice.

General comments?

A very comfortable car on long journeys.

Very slow for a 2.5, left behind by all sorts of mundane smaller cars.

Too many expensive electrical faults to say it's a reliable car.

I should have bought the T5...
