1998 Volvo V70 review from North America
"A very sporty wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
This car does not feel as solid as the 1996 - 850 GLT my wife drives.
The car is not as swift as the 850 as well.
There is a constant whistle like noise at the driver's window. Also there is minor rattling you hear all the time.
The seats are very comfortable and the ride is fairly good.
