1980 Volvo 264 GLE review from Australia and New Zealand
"It's a safe powerful strong car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown trans, front brakes, electric window, heater, wiper switch.
General comments?
It makes you feel safe even though there is an anti Volvo mentality in Australia from other
drivers. We just let them pass on the highway.
I know my family is safer in a Volvo and so do the other drivers.
The V6 is on gas only. Why pay for petrol with a V6? A huge gas tank in the boot IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
