1979 Volvo 244 DL review from North America
"I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch free play was off, and the shifter bracket was off. Also, the driver's seat has a little tear as well as the door panels are loose on the bottom.
General comments?
The car is a real trooper. Ugly, yes, but unreliable, no. For a '79, this car looks it's age, but the engineering and it's Swedish steel body make for a safe, but solid drive anywhere. I would recommend this car to anyone.
