1985 Volvo 360 GLT review from Australia and New Zealand

The little reader that tells you how many km's died just before 70,000 km. not a major problem and probably easily fixed.

The muffler completely fell off 2 months ago (after 19 years of ownership). My step-father used to drive the car 40km every day 6 times a week for 7 years. So for how long the cars been going this isn't surprising.

PLENTY of problems with the brakes today. Read brake shoes soaked with brake fluid, lots and lots of leaks. I have to top up the reservoir every month.

Major oil leaks in the engine, but the car is very old so I guess it's not surprising.

Very odd rattling noise when I between 1900 and 2200 rpm. I suspect a loose bearing.

When changing into reverse gear it crunches like mad. I have to turn the car off, change to reverse then turn it on again.

Very strange sound that sounds like something is about to fall off when I depress clutch. Unknown problem, seems very bad, but at the moment doens't affect driving.

Very forgiving car. I thought my step-father was doing oil changes, he thought I was. This lasted for about 3 years. Car didn't seem to mind.

Very good acceleration in third and fourth gears. Slow acceleration in 1st, 2nd and 5th.

Corners well, I have no problem accelerating around a corner at high speeds just for the thrill.

All the problems listed above are for a 19 year old car that has had a lot of use. Over the past 3 years it has had horrible servicing and would be in a better state had I of had more time and more knowledge to give it the proper care it deserves.
