1985 Volvo 740 GLE review from Australia and New Zealand

"This is a very quick and cheap car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The head gasket blew only a few months after warranty.

The interior is in bad shape and I recommend you do not buy this vehicle.

General comments?

This car is very quick.

This sr20 turbo can run a 1/4 mile in 11.0 sec.

However this car handles like a shopping cart and it is recommended not to go around corners.
