1982 Volvo 240 Dl review from North America
"No chick magnet, but reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Didn't pass emisions at first, radio was shot and a stiff clutch.
General comments?
Love this car. I had a 1980 Toyota Celica, thing had barely 60k on it and died. I went out and got my Volvo for $400 bucks, best investment. Some things were wrong, but it handles well, little on the gutless side for power, comfortable unlike the little Toyota's and Acura's and I know wherever I am it will start, and it will make it wherever I'm going.
