The Volvo 240: leaving a lasting impact

I used to drive a 240, then a 740, 850, V50, V40 & now an XC40. I'm a retired UK fireman & cut people out of cars throughout my entire career. I'll stick with Volvo.

It took us all over Europe from Switzerland to Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, UK, ... and also up to the Swiss Alps even with tons of snow on the streets. What an epic car it was! I do actually own a glacier silver XC40 T5 AWD (2020 model) and it's the best car I ever owned. My wife and I LOVE it so much.

Oh! The lovely Volvo -40-series cars! My cousin bought a 940, used it to drive 10 hours each weekend for three years. Then he bought a Suzuki. The Suzuki from 2007 had so many problems, that he sold it. Now he bought another 940, from 1991. He says he will never replace it. So smart and simple solutions, and they have a very high quality. An important aspect with these, is that they are so over-built/over-dimensioned. That makes the engines very strong. Combine that with simple technology and an unusual but very cool design, and you have a recipe for success. I think doing what you’re doing with having some similarities in the newer cars are a great idea. Like the grille on the Volvo xc90 (2015-2024), that had the same pattern as the 240/740/940/850/v70/v50 is very cool. I noticed those details. These old Volvos are iconic. I bet if you started making them again, you could still get decent sales, and that says something about the cars.

I own a 244 86 model with a B230A, it’s not running currently but some day it will and I will drive it until I cant anymore, and then I’ll fix it up and drive it again 😁

Hello!!! Sure this One is a star in the automobile galaxy, because it can last very long. I hope to buy one in the years to come, and will take great care of it, as it will take great care of me. Many thanks VOLVO. 💙💛💙

There are two particular brands of automobiles that I adore. SAAB (With my trusty, safe & reliable 2002 9-3 Convertible) and Volvo. Especially love the V70. Although i must confess. I have little experience with the models of Volvo. I have driven the XC60. Which is a safe powerhouse of a vehicle!

Recently bought my second 240, it's a 75 so it was the first production year. It definitely won't be my last one

Amazing to hear! /Anthony

Some people see new cars with turbo power and worry. They think turbo power is always going to be a problem. I tell them that it can be done right and last long. The Volvo Brick had optional turbo engines and did not ruin the reputation. There were other turbocharged gasoline engines that held up, but I think Volvo was the best example.

You can thrash these things to any level but all they require for repairs is a toothbrush, and then they'll run like new Brilliant Swedish engineering❤ 🎉

Volvo Classic Center with reasonably priced OEM parts when? Look at Mercedes Classic Center, and there are more classic Volvos driving around when I look around.

Hello there, please contact [e-mail] for assistance with spare parts for classic Volvo models. /Anthony

Blue or red like my current car

[@VolvoCars]

Good choice! 😍 /Jade

[@Vamanos46]

So what's gonna replace the legendary v70 ? You don't have a comparable product for that. The most recent v60 wasn't big enough to count, and the v90 costed too much. I used to be a big Volvo fan until 2017, i am tired of waiting with Volvo for many many years, so I'll pass on Volvo for now.

[@adamsjoberrg]

I've only ever driven one 245 and it was actually a Transfer model, the extra long one. It was my friend's dad's car and I was the only one with a drivers license. I had 3 or 4 buddies in the back and I was towing a boat too and I vividly remember that the gear lever could go from drivers floor to passenger floor and all the gears were somewhere in the middle 2 centimeters... I remember because it was almost impossible to find first gear, and starting in second with a boat in tow was not ideal, nevermind the 4 or 5 teen boys in the car. Funny memory.

[@VolvoCars]

Wow, what a great memory, Adam! Have you driven any other Volvos since? /Jade

[@TristanGarver]

I remember my grandpa's 1987 240 DL. He drove that car till it stopped. Had about 430,000 miles on it before she quit. To this day, it's still sitting in his garage.

[@VolvoCars]

Wow, that's incredible! What colour is it? /Jade

[@TristanGarver]

@VolvoCars Its red with a black interior

I owned two Volvo’s in the 80’s The first one lived at the repair-shop it was an endless money pit. The second one was my favorite a 240. I loved how it looked and the roominess, I got many complements. But it too lived in the repair shop, independent mechanics and dealership mechanics were “never” able to keep up with the endless issues that drained me financially. Some engineering choices left me scratching my head. I noticed a wiring harness tightly wrapped from top side of engine down around the engine block and up the other end. All wires were crispy with insulation mostly fallen off. I’m not a mechanic nor engineer but that was nonsense! I lost count how many times I replaced the door pockets. They constantly would break into several pieces from the slightest bump of my leg. The upholstery was a strange pantyhose stretchy material that was impossible to keep clean. I decided to buy a Toyota and never consider another Volvo

[@Super-my9ob]

Please produce them again, like 1:1 not a new or remake, just give us the car that is already perfect 🎉🎉🎉

[@VolvoCars]

Did you own a Volvo 240 in the past?😊 /Jade

[@vincentf.2467]

Once upon a time, Volvo was a leading brand for reliability (re : engines) without a doubt. I own an unstoppable 5 cylinders v40.
