1997 Volvo 940 estate review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and roomy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace fan belt on 4 occasions.
General comments?
As a courier working throughout Ireland, car has proved itself to be reliable, roomy, and comfortable to be in for long periods of time.
Fuel economy is acceptable on longer journeys, but working in traffic can be costly.
