1985 Volvo 360 GLT review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best of ten cars that I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown transmission axle.
Blown water pump (very expensive).
Worn steering rack (twice, don't use neoprene bushes for a rebuild).
Clogged radiator (from a waterpump).
Broken area around the hinge of the tailgate.
General comments?
Very solid and most cars don't like to hit it, but those that try always come off second best.
