1986 Volvo 340 GL review from UK and Ireland

The top hinge on the driver side door is missing a pin, so the car door won't shut at the moment.

In bad need of a service.

This car is very ugly, the same colour as dirt, unlike my beloved (dead) Volkswagen Golf, but at £30 you really can't go wrong.

Interior is also ugly and too spongy for my liking, and has faded to a sort of pink colour. Very spacious though, and this makes you feel safe when driving.

When I drive it, I take corners very slow as I'm afraid the door might fly open. It won't shut properly.

It does have a certain something that those with a sense of humour would appreciate. I wouldn't own this car if I had more money, but that said, this is a lot of car for beer money.

Performance is very hit and miss with this car, pulling out of junctions is scary. I think this may have something to do with the clutch biting point. This is also to blame for the wheel spinning nature. Rear wheel drive cars are still a mystery to me.

The look of the front end is attractive, but the rear end is as plain ugly as a skip.
