1987 Volvo 360 GLEi review from UK and Ireland
"Sturdy, reliable stayer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump at 70,000miles.
Three exhausts in five years.
General comments?
This car has got to be one of the best all rounders ever made. It is built like a tank, has a good performance (engine) and generally doesn't cost a lot to run. Bad points are it handles like a House brick, is heavy on gas and the fuel pump can be noisy. The one I have has gone through four MOT's without failing on a single thing. I can deal with the heavy fuel consumption because of the cheap MOT's it has rewarded me with.
