1990 Volvo 245 review from Switzerland
"High quality car for a low price when it was new and still a bargain as a second hand car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Except for a worn out drivers seat no problems.
General comments?
No rust, very reliable, roomy.
I do not consider the rather low performance (compared to most modern cars) a disadvantage. Performance is sufficient and the rather low performance adds to passive safety.
