1967 Volvo 122 wagon review from North America
"Awesome car, looking to get more of them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes are not so great.
The transmission slips in second gear.
The battery is dying, and the carbs need some work.
General comments?
A great car. It is really quiet. It hasn't broken down once in the half-year I have had it. It has a comfortable interior, and doesn't smoke or backfire. Although not as quick as my old 1968 122, but it's OK. It feels nice and tight, and steers great. It is really reliable.
