2001 Volvo XC70 review from Lebanon
"A real lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator had to be replaced at 15000 kilometers.
Engine Cooling Fan Had to be replaced at 25000 kilometers.
Suspensions had to be replaced at 40000 kilometers.
Transmission gave up at 48000 kilometers and has to be replaced.
Rear seat belts stopped functioning and had to be fixed.
Two years after it was bought, rust accumulated under the roof racks.
General comments?
The Volvo XC70 is the most luxurious and comfortable car I have ever had. Its 2.5 Turbo engine is powerful enough and the car handles well on the road, even though on slippery surfaces, the ABS still needs some improvements. Mechanically speaking, the car is a lemon and I will definitely never buy any Volvo again. For about the same price you could get a much more reliable Lexus or Audi.
