1992 Volvo 940 GL review from North America
"Lasts FOREVER!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was given to me by my niece who just got a 1998 S70. This car has been in the family since 2000. Before my niece had it, her parents drove it. So far I have done nothing to it, although it needs front bushes and a new air conditioning unit.
General comments?
My 940 is white over tan leather. These cars are absolutely beautiful! They were one of the last true Volvo's ever built. The styling and design of the car never goes out of style.
The comfort of the car is amazing, and cruising is smoother than most.
As far as performance goes, I am used to SAAB turbos, so I was a little disappointed, but considering the age and weight, I would say it is pretty good.
I will keep this car as long as it will go. I am planing on purchasing a BMW 740Li and NOT trading my Volvo in. It will be a good extra car. These 940's will last forever, and you will love the interesting door handles inside and out.
Do not hesitate to purchase one regardless of the miles. Reliability on these are excellent. It will get up and go day in and day out.
