1993 Volvo 480 S review from Netherlands
"Great!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is water coming into my trunk.
The speedometer is sometimes not working (electrical problem).
General comments?
The model is great. It's quite unusual.
Driving a 480 is fabulous, especially if you realize it's designed in 1986.
The car is really fast (109 hp and only 990 kilo).
The car is very luxury.
Unfortunately there is a difficult and sensitive electrical system, which gives lots of problems (not with this one yet, but my previous (1986) one had lots of problems).
The back of the car is sensitive for rust. At the wheels and in the trunk. (again: not this one (yet), my previous had lots of rust).
