1995 Volvo 850 GLT review from North America
"High-quality where it matters most!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The "Service" light has been stuck on and various mechanics cannot turn it off.
Headlight wiper broke.
Lower gas mileage than expected (about 17 mpg, city)
Broken electrical seat recliner.
Antenna motor is stripped.
General comments?
I have had my Volvo 850 GLT for almost a year now and I have very few complaints. There are only minor problems that are understandable for a 12-year-old vehicle such as a broken seat recliner and stripped antenna motor. But they don't stop the car from running.
Great stock stereo system that makes all my friends jealous.
Strong engine that shows no signs of slowing down or quitting... starts every time.
Comfortable seats.
Heat and A/C work great.
