1996 Volvo 850 GLT review from Guatemala
"This car is a dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A check engine light was on.
Driver seat belt is not working well. I have to pull several times in order to engage it.
General comments?
This car has great acceleration.
A little noise from outside can be heard. The car is really quiet.
Has a good looking, and has a lot of extras, like an on board computer, sunroof, etc.
Is very stable and responds well at high speeds.
The fuel economy is about 25 km/gal.
