CR bashing unfounded S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Morris on  Mon Aug 12 08:55 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Consumer reports collects data and reports the results. If you understand the basis for the circles and the charts, they are informative.

The Used Cars to Avoid and Best Buys in USed Cars is more subjective, but again based on years of cost of repair data. Notice that the 94, 95, 96 & 97 850 series is frequently represented in the Best Buys in Used Cars.

I have little use for "my S70 is great" or "my V70 sucks" stories. There are lemons and there are trophies. I want to know what my ODDS are of getting a lemon, and CR tells me that.

Where was the S70 assembled (europe or Mexico)? That may be more of an indicator of reliability....

My 2 cents.
