The 1998 Volvo S70 GLT should be dead. It’s nearly 30 years old, has almost 280,000 miles, is missing a cylinder, leaks oil like state secrets, and sounds like it’s one cold start away from an overdue grave. And yet it just passed inspection. In this episode of Race to the Bottom, my ongoing search for the worst car in the world lands on the 1998 Volvo S70 GLT, the most confusing car I’ve ever driven. A bafflingly brilliant highway cruiser that’s as frustrating as it is fun, and as baffling as it is brilliant. I’ll talk about sunk-cost ownership, the inherent value of pre-2000s Volvo, and why some vehicles refuse to die even when logic says they should. The S70 GLT represents the end of an era, but the survival of something that deserves to still be here, warts and all.
