1992 Volvo 940 GL review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable sturdy work-horse, highly recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than the fuel pump in the tank breaking down and contaminating centre fuel pump, I have had no problems with it with the exception of the red paint work fading on the roof and bonnet.
General comments?
Although this is a big heavy car, it has proved to be a real work-horse. I cannot fault it on Reliability, it starts every time and runs like a dream.
Performance isn't race car like, but for size and weight it isn't bad.
With 205,000 miles on the clock it is surprisingly smooth and quite drive. Comfort is pretty good.
It has proved to be quite thirsty on petrol, but this is still within acceptable levels.
I would have no hesitation recommending this car to anyone, especially if you need a strong work-horse for towing. We have towed our 23 foot caravan all over the place with no problems.
