1988 Volvo 740 GL review from UK and Ireland
"A Masterpiece!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump would cut out regularily... nobody could find the cause... this is why I got rid of the car.
General comments?
Despite a bizarr technical fault which was the demise of my car, the Volvo 740 is the best car ever. The man responsible for the design of this car should have been instantly promoted, and given everything he asked for.
