1988 Volvo 244 review from North America
"Amazing car, reliable and great for city driving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes and mufflers were replaced 3x in 20 years.
Alternator out at 5 years.
General comments?
They don't make cars that last like this anymore; too bad because I'd buy another.
