1980 Volvo 245 DL review from UK and Ireland
"Safest and best you can buy !"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
An amazing car, 20 years old, looks and drives like new, comfortable, safe, high driving position, can carry anything, quiet engine, sluggish but reliable auto-gearbox, excellent seats. Almost perfect paintwork. Will go on forever (with regular servicing).
