Trouble free bar regular wear items ie. brake pads and exhaust.
Very reliable car, comfortable cruiser, able to give you the feeling of never wanting another type of car, this one is my ninth Volvo.
Performance with the 230e motor is quite acceptable even by year 2000 standards.
Handling tends to bodyroll when cornering but always with the feeling of being in control.
Dash feels somewhat in your face due to its uprightedness, however this is something you get used to.
I have recently purchased an 84 240 GL wagon, and must say I love the strange layout and shape of the car as compared to the Fords and Holdens I had previously owned. It runs nice with 350 000 on the clock. It sounds middle aged by Volvo specs.
Sweden, I say thank you for the music, the songs we're singing... thanks for all the Volvos pinging... down under.
