1997 Volvo 850 GLT review from North America
"Amazing car, love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery wiring problem, + side was heating or something, $100 fix.
Check engine light permanently on, an air filter was removed before I got it, not a big deal.
Sunroof seal broken, won't open, have not fixed.
Antenna is iffy, has been opening correctly lately, but some times chooses not to rise.
General comments?
Lug nuts are a pain in the ass on these things, according to Les Schwab guy it is because they are more like bolts and rust on the inside.
This car has the best cruise control ever. It stays perfectly level, up hill, down, no matter what, perfect. (Except for the fact there is no light to tell you it is on)
