1990 Volvo 240 GL Estate review from UK and Ireland
"It's too thirsty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mainly, IT DRINKS, nothing major.
General comments?
It is big and solid, a strong box and can take heaps and heaps of punishment as everyone says. But it takes a lot of petrol, 11-15 mpg. If you can afford it go for it, or a BMW will work out cheaper.
