2001 Volvo V70 review from North America
"Never buy it! unless you have lots of money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission problems at 90,000 miles
Brake pads every 2,000 miles
struts replaced at 92,000 miles
both front axles replaced at 93,000 miles
transmission clunks when placed into gear.
General comments?
The car glides on the freeway
however, it cost a lot for that smooth ride
The seats are very uncomfortable
The car lacks in space
The back seats have no leg room
However, the stereo Rocks!
