1998 Volvo V70 GLT review from North America
"Performance with utility"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Cooler lines from transmission leaked at 120k.
Tricky repair, but not too expensive.
ABS and auto traction have failed, but I dislike ABS so will not repair.
General comments?
Excellent all round vehicle. Great seats and interior appointments. Excellent power and transmission.
Several squeks and rattles. Handling only fair and ride poor on bumpy roads. However it the King of the open road. Very Fast.
