1988 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"A long lasting stallion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioner went out.
The radiator went out.
The belts had to be replaced.
The fuel injectors had to be cleaned.
The sun roof leaks.
The lining breaks loose.
The head lining falls down.
The leather seats crack.
The automatic antenna broke.
The shocks in the trunk broke.
General comments?
Even though this car has it's minor problems that can easily and cheaply be fixed, it is the best car I have ever owned. It drives very comfortably, and after 56,000 miles it stills runs like a new car. I love my Volvo.
