1995 Volvo 850 GLT review from North America
"Awesome reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At around 190,000 I had a problem with the transmission, burnt up the fluid and possibly ruined the internal gaskets, BUT!! It didn't break down, it still drove me home and drove to the mechanic!! It didn't leave me stranded!!! Leather seats started going bad around 150,000 miles. Sensors started going bad around 150,000 too, but still runs perfect!!
General comments?
These cars are engineered to keep functioning no matter what. That's what I love about them. Despite the few problems I've had, its nothing unexpected for a car with 200,000 miles. The engine has never ever had any problems to this day. Highly recommend a Volvo.
