1994 Volvo 480 Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Best car I ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A whistling noise from the screen or sunroof in strong sidewinds or at speeds above 120mph (ahem) which of course I never did.
Heater manifold failed at 70 thousand miles and was a bit pricey.
Other than that it just goes like stink.
General comments?
I love this car. I have to sell it and have waited for Volvo to get their act together and produce a decent coupe to replace it. But - it now has to go for an Alfa.
Love the handling, the comfort, the security, and will hate to see it go.
Oh, and the acceleration is pretty nifty too.
