1986 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"A durable, reliable tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leaks on the driver's side floor.
Headliner falling.
Power windows and electrics have glitches.
Rotors/brakes wear fast.
Cabin is noisy.
General comments?
This car rocks, it is a solidly built tank and if you take care of it, it will reward you with reliable service.
All of the amenities are nice, many driving comforts.
Could use a little more pep when accelerating, but over ride is nice and smooth.
