1992 Volvo 740 Station Wagon review from North America
"I absolutely love this car, it will do anything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Airbag depliyment computer became old and had to be replaced for $2000.
Breakage of some interior plastic trim pieces.
General comments?
I am a teenage driver and drive it to its absolute maximum potential and then some it is slow to get up to speed, but is extremely quick through the turns, very predictable and responsive.
The same car that that my mom drove me to kindergarden in, I am now driving to college in.
This car has more room and is more capable than most SUVs its size.
It has serious and functional cargo room and will swallow almost anything including my 9'6" longboard, Gear for any type of road trip with 5 passengers, it will sleep two six foot tall adults in the back with the seats dropped comfortably.
The many people consider this car underpowered, but it will accelerate plenty fast for comfortable daily driving. The engine is lively and spools quickly all the way to red line, mated with a responsive transmission that shifts smoothly when cruising and will snap into the next gear when sport driving.
The only time I have found the power to be lacking is climbing steep hills with a fully loaded car.
This car is extremely comfortable especially the leather seats.
This car has it all from, classy style and sophistication, cargo room, preformance, comfort, and legendary Volvo safety.
This car is a classic and is practical for anyone to drive.
Stop reading these things and just buy one everyone has something good to say about them.
