1989 Volvo 760 GLE review from UK and Ireland
"Swedish barnstormer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No real faults so far.
Slight headlining sagging in the rear.
Sidelights plastic lenses fading.
General comments?
Bought this V6 1989 Estate to replace my BMW 520 Tourer, which was out grown by our dogs.
Owned 3 previous 7 series estates some time ago and it felt like coming home when I found this VOLVO again.
BMW can't hold a light to this iconic estate car. It's fast, smooth, comfortable and strong as an ox.
Everything on the car works perfectly including the climate control, and the caramel leather interior harks back to the good old 80s.
I still can't fault these cars, and this will be my 4th. Anyone who is prejudiced towards these old VOLVO's hasn't owned a decent car like these and should try them out.
Hope this one reaches 400,000 miles like my last one. They don't make cars like this any more.
