1991 Volvo 780 review from North America
"One great Volvo, and very overlooked in the used market in my opinion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump failed.
Replaced a few of the hoses when first bought.
Wood trim on front of dash has started to crack slightly.
Slight crack on dashboard.
Couple of small cracks in leather seats.
Had to replace AC freon.
General comments?
Very reliable vehicle. Have not had any major problems with car since purchase. No work done except minor issues mentioned above and normal upkeep.
Car has a very stable and quiet ride, but could use a bit more help in acceleration department, especially coming out of stops. But I owe this to the weight of the vehicle.
Very luxurious car. Every option that you could wish for and more. The interior has held up amazingly well for such an older vehicle.
I feel very safe in this car. Even though this was a limited edition car for Volvo, and was produced in Italy, it has all of the safety features of other Volvo cars.
