1997 Volvo 850 GLT review from North America

"Good car, but costly to repair"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The biggest problem has been the air conditioning. Replacement of condenser requires significant work, including engine removal to get to the condenser. Cost was $1500 (over $2000 with dealership).

Goes through tires quickly.

General comments?

Excellent if in an accident - only the other car is damaged, typically.
