1983 Volvo 240 review from North America
"Safe, in every way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all. This car is a dream, I'll get another 83 240 when the time comes.
General comments?
Thinking about getting a 240? Do it, and get a 83, it's the best year (according to a Volvo mechanic that worked in the factory then).
