1988 Volvo 240 GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is some kind of water leaking into the passenger side (left) floor which is causing some electrical problems.
Some plastic buttons and leavers are falling apart and the side door pockets are completely gone.
General comments?
This car is very reliable and well built.
A little bit slow to accelerate...
The seats are quite comfortable. Although the drivers seat is a little loose.
The air conditioning is not so good but the heating is HOT!
I love that there is so much room in the back once you fold the seat up.
