General Comments:
Good looking little Volvo, this car did me OK for a while.
No major issues, but quite a lot of parts replaced, mostly down to wear and tear. Reliability was OK. Some parts were expensive however.
1.6 basic boring engine, average performance and economy.
Very nice interior even on this basic model.
Classic Volvo really, reliable and durable but boring. I scrapped it recently as it failed an MOT needing too much work, but it was 20 years old, not bad going.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
