1990 Volvo 740 Wagon review from North America
"A quick boxy hauler that feels it will run forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater hose blew right after I got the car. $90.00 repair.
Purchased a repair kit to stop rattle for the rear hatch inside panel. Still rattles. I might have installed wrong.
General comments?
I have never owned a Volvo before, but have always wanted one. I love this car. It has 140,500 miles. I think it's just broken in.
Mine's a black inter-cooled turbo and with an automatic it's not quite as quick as my 900 turbo 5-speed, but certainly doesn't feel like the four cylinder that it is.
