1990 Volvo 240 DL 4dr Sedan

The 240 has a strong (as in reliable) engine, and is purportedly safe, but that is it. The engine is anemic and roars like an 18 wheeler in the lower gears. Handling reminds me of a large moving van. The seats are not comfortable, and at some point all of the interior trim pieces get brittle and explode on contact. The exterior trim pieces have a habit of falling off too. I have had two of these (long story), both "wine" red, and both paint jobs have faded badly. The exterior styling inspires only extended yawns; espcially ugly are the large plastic headlights. I have owned a lot of cars, these are by far the least fun to drive.
A Sliding Tank

This car was not designed to be driven in snow! It is rear wheel drive, and too much of the vehicle's weight is on the front wheels. Thus, the rear wheels have no traction on snow, and the vehicle is like a sliding tank. On the plus side, the vehicle is very solid; its engine and body are very good; and it is extremely reliable. On the negative, the fan/heater is way too noisy, and it does not control air temperature very well. In addition, I give the radio/cassette/speakers a rating of zero. Finally, to press the gas pedal in this car you have to move your foot too much to the left which makes for an uncomfortable position, especially on long trips!

I own 4 of these great cars. I love all 4 and for very little money I have four cars that I would drive anywhere in the country. I have owned Mercedes, Toyota, nissan, subaru, and several american made cars and the volvo 240 is the best car ever built! Check out ebay for the no reserve auctions and get a steal of a deal on a 240.
Mixed feelings

I bought my '90 240 DL less than a year and I have mixed feelings about it. Overall, its a very solid car, I was hit on the side by a BMW Z3 and only got a minor dent while the Z3's front end was wrecked. Its fuel economy is not impressive, I average 16mpg city driving. Its rear wheel-drive tends to slip easily on snowy roads. Ride is comfortable and handling is smooth even though pickup is slow. So far I have to replace quite a few parts and they are not cheap.
