1984 Volvo 245 GLT review from Romania
"Very good and economic car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The petrol pump crash at 220000km, i find some oil leaks at the power steering gear at 230000km.
Just minor problems at electric mirrors, but I think that was due the freezing in winter time.
General comments?
Usually I drive long ways, and with this car is very comfortable.
It is a good car, and I really like this model. I have 4 cars like this and I don't think that I will sell them.
I intend to buy a new V70XC. If volvo still do this kind of cars!!
