1986 Volvo 340 DL review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I fouled up the plugs and flattened the battery, but that was my fault.
General comments?
It's my first car and I was expecting it to be awful to drive, but I really like it - it's actually quite fun! The pedals are positioned much better than on the Corsa, Clio and Cavalier I've also driven. The seats are very comfortable. The dealers charge extraordinary prices for things (£65 for a battery - £35 from Halfords) but the Swedish and Germans do things much cheaper. It's called The Centurion and I'm thinking of painting it in camouflage...
