1984 Volvo 245 DL review from North America
"Best tank you'll ever drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Having a bit of trouble with the automatic overdrive working consistently.
Replaced the original radiator at 300,000 km.
General comments?
Love the car! For the tank that it is, it handles well, drives beautifully and even with this many km on it, runs like a top. I would definitely buy another Volvo. Living in a very cold winter area this car is the best for winter driving with its even weight distribution, rear wheel drive and fantastic heater!
