2000 Volvo XC70 review from North America
"Think VERY seriously about this model.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything, I have had the cooling system replaced, the computer brain, starter, A/C system.
The inside panel of the rear panel has fallen off with no unnecessary roughness. So many things have been replaced that all I can say is thank heaven I took out the extended insurance policy.
I am now having to replace the intake valve gasket for the turbo, and understand that is a frequent item replaced.
This car is the worst Volvo I have ever purchased, and I have owned 4.
The leather seats in the front have all cracked and torn @ 60,000 miles, and again not unnecessary use.
General comments?
There is really nothing good to say about this car, other than I have basically replaced the entire works and might as well keep it.
