1990 Volvo 740 GL review from UK and Ireland
"What a car should be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear tailight was replaced.
General comments?
I absolutely love this car. When I decided it was time to get a new car I was sure it was going to be an older Volvo. It just wouldn’t make since to go for anything else a cheap very reliable car that will last forever what more could you want.
The one and only downside to this car is that it is not a speed demon. Will not take you from zero to sixty in 4 seconds, but ounce you get it to around 30 it rides very smooth and has no problem keeping up.
Bottom line is: If you are looking for a car that is sporty that you can race with your friends this isn't it. But if you are looking for a car that will turn over rain or shine and run up to 300,000 miles then volvo is your best bet.
