1986 Volvo 740 GLE review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable, reliable, performance saloon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch needed replacement at 150k.
General comments?
Extremely comfortable, reliable car.
Reasonable performance, easy to maintain and very cheap to buy.
Quite thirsty if driven hard, but on long motorway journeys returns 36mpg! Not bad for a 2.3 litre engine! More thirsty on very short journeys.
