1993 Volvo 850 review from North America
"Nice Whip"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rails on sunroof broke and won't close the sunroof all the way. I got it closed and disconnected the switch to prevent rain damage.
Driver's seat controls stopped working.
And most recently a hole appeared in my brake line of the right rear wheel and I keep loosing Brake Fluid.
Cruise Controls drops randomly drops speed after being set, even without braking.
General comments?
Nice looking car.
Cheap leather used for the seats. Every car like it has cracked leather seats.
Why no built in cup holders in a luxury car?
The timinig belt was changed to 112,000 miles and the car is very clean.
