1988 Volvo 360 GLTi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake flexi-hoses (twice).
Rear door rusting around window seal - metal not treated properly at production?
Speedometer erratic at low speeds.
General comments?
Very reliable workhorse, and reasonably refined on motorway.
Performance only fair given engine size, and noisy when pushed.
Feels very dated now, but also feels safe and more like a larger car inside.
Very easy to drive, power steering light.
Doesn't get stolen because of the 'image problem!'
Cheap to insure and fuel economy OK.
Dealers and parts very expensive.
Reckon I'll skip the Renault-derived 400 series and go straight onto a V40 next time round.
