1990 Volvo 740 GL review from North America
"Unbelievable durable engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wiper does not work. Sunroof mechanism is worn out, but still works.
General comments?
The car was a fantastic purchase. As the third owner of this family wagon I wondered about its condition. But Volvo makes a very reliable car. It's not the most powerful or the most beautiful, but it stands up to the worst driving conditions with class, comfort, usefulness, and most importantly safety. What really astonishes me is the good condition of the engine and transmission compared to the high mileage.
