1986 Volvo 760 Turbo review from North America
"A high performance luxury car at its best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car doesn't track well on wet roads, it stalls occasionally when started up for the first time in a while (but can restart right away and run fine). Cruise control just quit working (looking into it).
General comments?
Overall the car is awesome... Clean the turbo and maintain it and you'll get some power (requires a couple of hours of work). If you treat this car right you can get as much boost out of the turbo and engine as a medium sized V6. It's a good car.
