1989 Volvo 440 Turbo review from Latvia
"Volvo - for life!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing special: new radiator, exhaust system (due to the corrosion), safety belt and speedometer at 123,000. Now I have no problems.
General comments?
This car is very reliable, comfortable, safe and fast.
May be design is a bit old fashioned, but this car looks very beautiful in white color (also white bumpers), with "17" wheels and a spoiler. Beautiful sport interior and a lot of "extras" inside. This is one of the safest cars in it's class. Engine and turbo works wonderfully. And the sound of acceleration is fantastic, especially with sport exhaust in my car. I've won tuned BMW 320 coupe (e36), Honda Prelude, BMW 525 (e34) and others. People started to get jealous:)! It has 120 hp + 40 hp (chip) + 30 hp (filter + "spider"). The greatest car for this money with no technical problems!
