1990 Volvo 480 Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"A super quick safe car with style as standard"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Silly problems really like the info-center and the sidelight bulbs.
And common leaking in the boot.
General comments?
This car is very very quick indeed to say it's a Volvo.
The power of the turbo is unbelievable when it kicks in.
I just wish that they made a 2 litre turbo version.
The handling is great as well for it will take corners with ease.
I also like the dashboard layout and all the gadgets to go along with it - especially the turbo boost gauge :-)
If you want to wind your mates up then this is the car to go for, it will beat all your XR2i's and the like.
