1994 Volvo 440 GLT review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, safe and durable... and yes it's a Volvo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator keeps being a little bit leaky.
The engine has a oil leak from somewhere, not bad though.
The gears don't like going in sometimes.
The cassette player has stolen a tape.
General comments?
The 440 GLT 2.0i is the second car I have ever owned. I have to say it is one of the most luxurious, well built, comfiest cars I have driven.
The car goes when you put your foot down, you can feel the road, yes it's a bit square and at high speeds you can feel the back wanting to fish tail, the fact is it will get to there with ease.
The build quality is second to none. It's thirteen years old now, and has been owned by 5 people including myself. Nothing has fallen off, all the electrics still work.
The look is one that you won't have now, and I can't think of a car its size on the market currently, that I would want to own.
An overall comfy, fast fairly economical spacious car with enough room for 5 adults. The boot is huge. I hope it goes for another 100,000 miles, I think it's the best thing I've ever bought.
