Volvo 440 1.6 Li 5d (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Not bad. But have had mine for 7yrs now so not expecting anything brilliant.
Costs
No problems here. Parts are ok price wise and servicing is easy.

On the road
Driving
Nice drive but heavy at low speeds due to lack of PAS.
Performance
Not sporty by any stretch of the imagination but eats up the miles on motorway runs.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very good. Only things I've replaced are the things that wear out i.e. exhausts, tyres, wiper blades, spark plugs etc.
Image
Never going to turn any heads but it is what it is an ordinary family saloon not a Ferrari.
Comfort
Very good seats and the heating elements come into their own come the winter time.

Security and Service
Security
Never had and problems. No one has ever stolen it or attempted to.
Service
Volvo servicing is quite expensive. But then again isn't all dealer servicing.
