1990 Volvo 340 review from UK and Ireland
"Land barge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the radiator at 80,000 miles.
Exhaust fell off at 95,000 miles.
Indicator stalk self destructed at 100,000 miles.
General comments?
A big comfortable workhorse, capable of carrying large loads with ease.
Surprisingly fun to drive once you get it moving, the joys of rear wheel drive.
Despite the heavy steering, it has a very impressive turning circle on full lock.
