1992 Volvo 940 GL estate review from UK and Ireland
"A real pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical fault on dashboard - warning lights used to go out - Re-soldered joint on back of meter block.
Overdrive relay.
General comments?
A very comfortable car. An absolute pleasure to drive - diff lock helps in snow and ABS braking is superb. Automatic gearbox changes smoothly and at sensible speeds.
Despite it's enormous size its very easy to manipulate into tight spaces.
Really useful for carting things about (mattresses, fence panels, wardrobes) No need to have anything delivered again! Probably the best luxury van on the market!
Despite it's age all the extras work.
The only thing I don't like is the performance. Most of the time it's adequate, but occasionally you put your foot down and you think "It doesn't have enough go -needs a turbo" But it will do 80 all day.
