1986 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"Absolutely flawless, and will live on forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basic maintenance items, i.e. : Front brakes replaced inclusive of front rotor, new fuel pump. Other than the basic maintenance issues, I love this Volvo, crazy about my 740 GLE. Excellent prestine motor, terrific body and exterior. Interior seats are slightly worn, leather has withstood all conditions, leather seating has held up very good despite the years. My 740 GLE has not let me down, and it continues to get attention everywhere I go. There are absolutely no leaks, and mechanics get upset because they cannot find anything wrong when I take it in for the usual oil change!!
General comments?
My Volvo 740 GLE handles extremely well on the highway, the engine has power which is a rarity for a 4 cylinder.
The cabin is luxurious, and very comfortable.
