For the longest time it was the unofficial car of Vermont college students.
1One of the best European cars ever.
1I've been daily driving 240's since 2001. Best car ever!
1Was never a Volvo fan. Grew up surrounded by the 2000-2010's and even through 2015 just did nothing for me. Turns out I just needed to look before and after. The newest ones look sleek and the older ones have character. Also saw an old P1800 in person and it's genuinely beautiful
1I've owned a 242 turbo since I turned 16. It was my first car. I turn 40 in May. My 242 now makes 1000+whp and is one of the cleanest 240s in New England.
1Those "vents" in the headrests are to help with visibility.
1Iconic, stately and very ‘old money’
1Rollin' down the road in a yellow brick! I love it.
1As long as the world keeps turning, there will be a Volvo brick getting down the road. Love it.
1My brother used to have a blue 1986 Volvo 240, he made a license plate for it that said BULLDOG! Great name for that car.
1My aunt and uncle had this exact car. It later had an 83 front end, after my cousin get in an accident in it. Also, one of my close friends from high school had an 88 in a light copper brown color that I went everywhere in. Nice roomy cars.
1That analogy of the walnut end table was spot on 😂
1One of the very few European cars I'd happily daily
1I like that back seat review, very nice idea - and funny to read "why didn't you use the other side" in the comments. Come on! 2000 reviews or so, this one missing won't hurt
1These were everywhere when I was a kid in the 80s. My neighbors had the wagon. Boring, but very reliable and durable.
1OMG that's almost the exact car I learned to drive in! My father had yellow 244 circa 1980. I got my license in 1981. My Mom had a Cadillac Seville. What I remember about the Volvo and still enjoy today in my 2020 Sentra is that it could make a u-turn on a residental street. The caddy being American was a 3 point turner.
1Maybe not the most attractive cars, but certainly safe.
1I'm sure most 240 enthusiasts know this but you can easily swap out the clock for a tachometer. They're already wired for it. Did it for my 85 with one I picked up for a couple bucks at a pick and pull yard.
1Very nice video. That 240 is in beautiful condition. I've been driving them for well over 45 years. My first was the 81 turbo. I'm currently driving a '93 wagon. They're very easy to work on which can save a ton of money. I also have an '04 and '15 xc70 but my heart belongs to the 240.
1Love the wagon of these years. in manual of course .
