1988 Volvo 340 GL review from UK and Ireland
"Luxury at a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Periodic carburettor blockages causing rough idling.
The propshaft had to be replaced at 74,000 miles.
General comments?
Comfortable and generally reliable.
Fuel economy not great as it's a heavy car - but I've had 40mpg on dual carriageways.
