1992 Volvo 440 LE review from UK and Ireland
"Sturdy and reliable, quality cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong with my 440, I had a small electrical problem with the rear-windscreen wash/wipe, but apart from that the vehicle was generally reliable..
Collided with a Honda Civic at 35,000 miles. The civic was a write off, 440 just required new bumper and bonnet hood.
General comments?
Extremely safe, wish I hadn't swapped it in for my current car. Lovely cruiser, sits at 85mph all day without much noise from the engine. Very durable design, and typical Volvo sturdiness.
Acceleration surprisingly good, with a top speed of about 125mph, but engine revs get loud over a ton. Best used as a family cruiser.
Extremely practical, plenty of space for friends in both front and back. Great handling, although would be better with PAS. Limited edition came with rear-spoiler and softer suspension. Included electric pack, with very handy heated seats.
