1988 Volvo 340 DL review from UK and Ireland
"Robust, nippy, fuel consuming bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot doesn't stay open.
Tail light connections a bit loose.
General comments?
A bit fuel consuming at only 20-25mpg.
Nippy first car with excellent brakes.
Brilliant turning circle, very tight.
Steering is a little heavy.
Poor stereo system, I have had to fit two back speakers as these were not present.
However overall the car is excellent runner, very comfortable with heated seats also!!!
