How is the Reliability of C70? C70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim, formerly Jim Baubel on  Thu Apr 5 09:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Well I did just buy a new coupe, and am wondering, are there any reports as to C70 reliability/problems now in after 3 model years, can I realistically expect the same durability and reliability as I have had in my 1991 740 (anvil tough at 91k)? I have only had put 1400 miles on the new C70, and am off to a shaky start, had a terrible time with an incorrectly factory installed windshield (now finally fixed after 6 tries!)

Like the old 740, I plan to take good care of this one, oil changes every 2500-3000 miles and hope to get plenty of use out of the vehicle.

I recall the 98's had more than their share of problems but are things OK now? Being built on the "old" V70 chassis, shouldn't they be pretty good?

Do you think it is realistic to someday see old C70 Volvos with 250k on the odometer, like the old 240 and 740 cars of yore?

Anyone care to comment?
