1987 Volvo 740 review from North America
"Would not hesitate to buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plug cracked, resulting in V.W. van impersonation. Replaced rear brakes and had rotors machined.
General comments?
Very comfortable seating and headroom sufficient for 6ft. 7in. driver. Reasonable handling for such a heavy car.
