1981 Volvo 240 GLE sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Next to nothing in the 13 years and 100kms I have done. Only minor things - windscreen wiper, problem with petrol pump, but apart from that, nothing! Ultra reliable.
General comments?
Comfy, solid, safe, and very, very reliable, just not much power. I am thrilled with the car - though it wasn't thief proof - some tramp stole it and drove it off a cliff, and that's the only reason I am thinking of getting a new car. In its day, the 240 must have been a class leader for few other cars have lasted the test of time so well.
