I will be glad to sit down with you and tell you the whole story of the brand new, top of the line $42,000 2001 Volvo C70 HPT turbo I bought for my wife, that had so much torque steer when you stamped on the go pedal that the steering wheel came alive like a tortured snake.
Then, I will regale you with the sordid story of all the problems that it had that could not be fixed by the dealer that I finally forced the beautiful Firemist Red to be finally be repurchased by Volvo under the CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW.
Amazingly the car arose resplendent on ebay a few months later.
This horrid story is still somewhere in the archives of
www.brickboard.com, and I can get it for you if you want.
Most comfortable seats in the business though. Newest Volvo I would buy is a 960, though, last of the Rear wheel drive ones.
Never has it been more true than with Volvo cars:
RWD good, FWD bad!!!
