1989 Volvo 340 LE review from UK and Ireland
"A beast, get one and thrash it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went (£17)
That's it in nearly one year.
Volvo's don't breakdown, Fact.
General comments?
Amazing car, what it lacks in power (only 1.4 petrol) it makes up for in thrashing ability. I had it for nearly a year and never took my foot off the floor! Burnouts, powerslides and driving at 100mph, it can handle anything. Be careful in the rain or snow, the back end fly's out easily.
The seats are really comfy, mine where heated and adhustable lumbar support.
