1988 Volvo 760 Turbo review from North America
"Overall, I loved it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical issues once in a while. Sometimes the power seat wouldn't work for a couple of minutes, or sometimes there would be no power to the stereo, but simply restarting the car would fix that.
Seats have worn moderately.
Needed a new alternator at a around 230,000 miles.
Oil leaked.
Some issues with power steering after sitting for half a year.
General comments?
This car is fast! Especially for a 4 cyl. station wagon. Speedometer goes up to 120 mph, and so does the car.
Accelerates great too!
Exceptionally smooth ride for an older car.
Loved all the options! Power windows, power locks, power steering, power sunroof, power mirrors, heated seats, cruise control.
Loved the capacity. Fits seven people, or you could fold down all the back seats and have a large cargo area.
Seats had adjustable lumbar support.
