1978 Volvo 244 DL 2.1 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Best car anyone could own!!!
Faults:
It had a hole in the exhaust pipe, but was easily fixed and not too expensive.
Apart from that, I've had no trouble with it.
General Comments:
My parents bought me this car for my 16th birthday (I'm 16 now, as they thought it would be a great car to learn in as they are so safe and sturdy.
We bought it off an old lady for $2000. It is in perfect condition with not a mark on the exterior.
It's a great car to drive and I absolutely LOVE it. I'm sure I'll have it for a long time since it only has 132,000km on it.
There's nothing about it I don't like, and I would recommend one to anyone.
Plus they look great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Oh yes! It is 2009 now and I have driven all kinds of new cars, including MB S-Klasse and BMW 7-series. Still my rugged old 244 feels better to them, thanks to good space and balanced ride and - of course - swedish engineering. Only they know, who have driven it...
