General Comments:
The Volvo 244 GL works great. Has never let me down once. It works great for short trips to the store and can easily run for 1000+ km without stress!
It may not be the fastest car around, but it can sure keep a good pace. Max out with the sun and wind pushing it down the road it will do around 175 Km/h (~105mph). Does consume a fare bit of gas.
Highway: 0.85 l/10km
City: 1.5 l/10km
One sturdy car that keeps on going and going. Good first car cause you can easily fix everything, isn't that much that can break.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
