1991 Volvo 740 SE review from North America
"High performance wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats have started to wear.
Turbo will need to be replaced soon.
Rings in the engine will be changed soon for the second time.
Seems to lean to the left still after replacing the springs and shocks.
General comments?
Very fast car, especially for a station wagon. The car came with a poor audio system, but that was soon changed after I acquired the title.
Very practical car. I carry massive loads of music equipment daily.
My car has only stalled or stopped on me three times. This, I think, is an appropriate number considering the mileage of the vehicle.
