1990 Volvo 240 GL Estate review from UK and Ireland
"A good family workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator replaced at 150,000 miles.
Windscreen leaked.
Rear shocks replaced.
Rear tie bar bushes failed twice!
General comments?
Very well built car that is easy to work on.
Lots of room inside and easy to clean out.
Not a car to worry about if it starts making a strange noise, unlike some tin boxes I have owned.
Handling is not sports-like...
