1998 Volvo V70 review from North America
"Very good car, but not as solid as expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC broken
Headlight broken
Air intake broken.
General comments?
This is the best car I've ever owned.
It handles well, had good pick-up, is good in snow, is safe and good-looking.
Excellent seatwarmers.
However, it makes weird noises and is decidedly uncomfortable.
