1990 Volvo 740 Estate review from Netherlands
"Which other car can do 0-100 km/h in 7.8 sec with 6 persons and has a turning circle of 9.9 m?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had a broken turbo when I bought it, my dealer didn't tell us, but after a short period we noticed that it didn't give the engine the power it should.
The last part of my exhaust broke after 6 months.
General comments?
It really really fast now with the new turbo.
We have 4 children so we installed a 2nd bench in the boot. It is folded down if we do not need it so our boot is more flexible compared with a MPV.
