1985 Volvo 340 GL review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap, good quality, nice wee first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaky radiator.
Front right suspension `clunks` going over some bumps - it had recently had a new suspension unit put in just before I bought it, not installed correctly.
Oh, and it needed a new stereo =)
General comments?
My first car, learned to drive in it and it was ideal.
Nice and comfy, next to no rust, plenty of space (and a large boot), and reliable. Heavy on those bends though.
Will start when cold, it doesn't like it though.
