Phil, not really... S70 1999

That is not what my post tried to transcribe. I was being sarcastic and trying to discredit the whole "Consumer Reports wrote this and that" philosophy. I will be the first to admit that Volvo did have a tough year in MY1998 (or two if you count MY1999) with various problems, mainly idiotic electrical mishaps. I vehemently oppose any suggestions that Volvos are cars to be avoided, perhaps a couple of model years need to be scrutinized more than others. I mentioned the other brands because the way R. Chase wrote his post one would think that Volvos don't cost a lot so he/she should not expect a lot. Volvo is not unique to electric problems. There are other brands that cost (on average) a lot more than the average Volvo and they are nightmares. But "Consumer Reports" do not make a big deal of it. Like the, now, infamous "jiggly ride" (give me a break, jiggly ride...). Anyway, I don't want to get started.
