1981 Volvo 244 DL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very reliable and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had this car 17 years and the only significant part replaced was the fuel pump. Just normal exhaust, brakes & tyres.
General comments?
This is the most reliable car I could imagine. It has been driven every day commuting and also on a very long trip about 5000km and never has missed a beat. Not well serviced these days and fuel economy has dropped off.
