1990 Volvo 440 GLEi review from UK and Ireland
"Great all rounder, very cheap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering rack worn.
Clutch worn out.
General comments?
The injection is good, the car is very fast, although the revs are too high at 80-100mph, the gear ratios are slightly off.
There are loads of extras, the cabin is very comfortable and it handles very lightly.
Only downside is the high Volvo parts cost, some other manufacturers are far cheaper.
This model really doesn't deserve the 'old man' image!
