1992 Volvo 440 GL review from Sweden
"I ride like a king"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A little trouble when shifting to first gear.
The cooling fan does not work.
A little rusty.
General comments?
Bought it (very cheap) from a friend to use for a ethanol conversion experiment. He was going to take it to the scrapyard, since he had bought a new car. I soon found out however, that not only was it a pretty good car, I "fell in love" right away. I'm going to get the little defects fixed and then use it over the winter at least. I've never liked the larger volvo´s, but this one is just right for me. Comfortable and inexpensive to drive.
