1998 Volvo V70 awd review from North America
"Great versatile car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Remote door will not lock on the drivers door
rattle on right side (not been serviced yet)
door pull on ceiling pulled out (able to snap it back in)
General comments?
Our family and their teen friends love this car--especially the teens.
Good performer, fair fuel economy, can be driven at 140-180k easily (tops at 240)
The all wheel drive is very nice on ice and snow.
The turbo,when driven hard is quick. Nice as one can drive it like the old man I am or as a performer when one needs to.
I have an irrational European car preference--other car is a Saab 900.
