1996 Volvo 440 CD review from UK and Ireland
"Bargain basement quality motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it.
General comments?
Unfashionable model, but with the blinding 2.0 Volvo petrol engine it really goes.
A little bit heavy on fuel, but not scarily so.
Superb interior with leather, air con and 10 CD player makes for long journey heaven.
The only downside is badly designed luggage space which means we cannot fit our new baby's 3-wheel buggy in so now the car must go.
The end-of the run 440s have a more modern face, but the shape is very dated, which seems to keep the price down on an excellent car.
Buying a V40 next so hopefully will get a repeat of this excellent car, but with that tiny bit more space.
