1991 Volvo 740 Turbo review from North America
"Excellent... fast, sporty, SAFE, reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car was in excellent shape, still looked new. Great performance. Unfortunately while I was out of town my parents T-boned a full size 80's model Ford Pickup... the Volvo won the battle. They walked away from it with a airbag burn (rug burn on the nose) and a bit sore. The car was however totalled. Did I mention this was a 45-50 mph wreck?
General comments?
Very fast car... raced SCCA Solo races and came in the top 3 out of Mustang Cobras, Z-28's, and 1 3000GT VR4, couple 94 SHO's.
