1990 Volvo 760 Wagon review from North America
"Excellent wagon, tough, comfortable, fast and versatile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo (ouch!), eats front disk brakes twice as fast as rear, vibration damper (lower pulley assembly), headliner fell apart (older models don't have this foam material above), front light assembly falling apart on both sides - lost lenses.
General comments?
Luxurious with all extras, neat extra child seats in back, all electrics, sunroof and towing package. Way more car than I could afford new and had no problem buying it with good maint. records. Really hard not to use turbo but would not buy this model without it as it makes a huge difference in performance. Rear drive means very tight turning radius which I often appreciate compared to FWD models and better towing balance.
