1992 Volvo 440 Li review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car that soldiers on well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious, that's what's good about it.
General comments?
Always starts and always goes but you almost always have a list of little mechanical things that need doing once it gets beyond 5-6 years old. Good for a DIY mechanic. Steering tends to wander, needs new rack once or twice a lifetime. Often a bulb somewhere that needs replacing. Not fast really but surprisingly vigorous if you want it to be - can catch you out if you're lulled into thinking it's sluggish, loads of torque at low revs. Drive it gently and the economy is amazing for a 1.8.
No luxuries on basic Li except heated front seats. Without power steering it's a beast to park, but good exercise!
