Good Marks from CR S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Vic on  Sun Mar 4 04:52 CST 2001 [RELATED]

April issue of Consumer Report - Cars 2001. Reports that the S70 2000 scored high. The results as follows, using their "key to trouble spots" of percent of reported problems from their survey: red dot 2.05% or less, half red dot 2.0% to 5.0%, white dot 5.0% to 9.3%, half black dot 9.3% to 14.8%, and black dot - more than 14.8%. The key is rated from better to worse.

Engine 2.0% of less, Cooling 2.0% or less, Fuel 2.0% or less, Ignition 2.0% or less, Transmission 2.0% or less, Electrical 5.0% to 9.3%, Air conditioning 2.0% or less, Suspension 2.0% or less, Brakes 2.0% or less, Exhaust 2.0% or less, Body rust 2.0% or less, Paint/trim 2.0% or less, Integrity 2.0% or less, Hardware 2.0% to 5.0% or less. Product reliability "black checked" (average).

In my case I would have to agree with them. My electrical issues resulted around the turn signal bulbs and emergency flasher switch. As far as the "black check" for reliability, I would think, I will just have to see how it goes.
