1989 Volvo 760 review from North America
"Hot, reliable and comfy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 18 years, the body and leather seats aren't in great condition and the radio no longer works. I've put new brakes in twice, been forced to disable the ABS system and, after wearing out the only key I had, had to replace the steering column.
General comments?
This is a beefy ride -- surprisingly nimble and fast. When you hit the overdrive button and punch it, the car lifts up and takes off.
