1987 Volvo 360 GLE review from UK and Ireland
"Good quality car with bags of character"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the original 1987 clutch and exhaust in 2006.
General comments?
Excellent little motor, has served me well and given me no problems.
On a good day my 360 drives like a wannabe sports car, allowing me to throw it into corners at speed.
It does shake somewhat around 75mph, however 75mph to 105mph the shakes subside a little and the car seems to want to go faster.
The interior is comfortable and functional. The front seats are the most comfortable I've driven in and the layout of the extra switches such as electric windows, heated seats and rear wiper give it a flight deck feel.
In summary, this car has given me miles of comfort and reliable motoring and is immense fun to drive.
Try one, you can pick them up for around £150 - £200, low insurance and there are more spare parts kicking around than you can shake a stick at.
