1995 Volvo 460 GL review from Estonia
"Once you drive it you cannot stay away for long"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sorry English is not my first language!
The car has an interesting problem. Every time I start the engine a light starts to burn, indicating that one of the light bulbs has failed. When I press the brake it disappears and does not return until I start the engine again.
The car failed to pass the inspection on the first time. There were problems with steering and front brakes.
Then the driver's side windshield water failed. Also the rear light bulbs and sockets needed cleaning so they would work correctly.
General comments?
The car handles very good in fast corners and on ice and snow.
