1988 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"I love to drive Volvo and plan to continue doing so."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a little bit of rust on the bottom of the car and on the right windshield wiper. The rust is a non-issue.
The driver's seat needs to be replaced. It was damaged at the time of purchase.
General comments?
The car is in great condition considering its age. I bought directly from the original owners, who had raised one child in it.
This car runs like a dream in snowy weather. I was quite surprised at its ability to navigate the icy streets.
I think that the seats are fairly comfortable. The primary purpose of a car is to get you from Point A to Point B and this car does that time and again.
