1999 Volvo V70 review from UK and Ireland
"A robust and reliable workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems to date and none expected.
General comments?
Not a vehicle for those who wish to be away from the lights first but cruises comfortably at higher speeds.
Reasonable fuel economy and running costs for a car of this specification.
Less roomy than the Galaxy, but feels like a car rather than a Transit Van. No need to remove rear seats to carry luggage.
