1995 Volvo 850 GLT review from UK and Ireland
"Great performance, comfort and safety"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasionally suffers from a resonating brake problem, shim kit from dealer will fix this.
Front left headlamp wiper motor replaced.
General comments?
Performance is excellent, always get away from the lights first!
Comfort is second to none.
With regular servicing this car will last forever.
And looks great too. Also have a look at the accessory catalogues from Volvo, there are many options available after purchase. And Volvo dealers are very friendly. But parts can be costly.
