1985 Volvo 240 GL review from North America
"A great, reliable, comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaks coolant, heated seats not working.
General comments?
I got this car from my grandparents who bought it new in 1984. They rarely drove it and decided that it was time for a new car. So I, then 16 years old, got the Volvo. The car is in perfect shape, interior and exterior, and has had little to no problems for the year I've had it. The leather is still plush and extremely comfortable.
