ThrowBack Cars In Nigeria: Volvo 740 Review.

The Volvo 740 was introduced to the US market in 1985 and production was discontinued in 1992. And throughout that time, the model has been known to be one of the most reliable 4-door sedans of its time considering the low number of engineering limitations and solid build quality which Volvo is known for. A testament to the car's reliability is a large number of these cars still being used today even though it has been out of production for 15 years now. The cars' lengthy service time is due to its sturdy construction and also through the use of high performance and engines that are built to last a very long time.
The GLE adds a sunroof, power windows, AC, AM/FM stereo cassette, dual side view mirrors and - new to the 1989 standards list - cruise control. The front seats, however, are mechanically operated by turning a knob. And although they do move easily into position, one might expect a bit of power assist in a car in this price range. But don`t knock the knob adjustment, because you can dial in the exact amount of incline you want.
