Volvo 440 (1989 - 1997) 1.8 GS 5d (1996/P) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Skint, or simply not bothered what you drive.

Cool, wierd, scruffy. Varies. The flash BMW/Audi owners on the estate are not impressed!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, at that price a much better proposition that I thought when I got it. Cars are not made with this much individuality anymore.

Got a SEAT and a Lancia so won't need another car for a while hopefully.

Didn't buy from a dealer

July 2011

Yeah it was up for £450 so got the guy down quite a bit.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I needed a car that was cheap.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Quite unrefined, fairly fast, bit bouncy. Quite good fun on the limit if pushed.

Simple big wide windows and loads of glass.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing

What's most practical about your car?

It has five doors.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Flashing seatbelt warning light, cool. Bonnet opens up ridiculously wide, vertical almost. Wierd.
