Car Forum / Volvo Cars / August 2007740 or 240?
Evening fellas, I love all of the RWD series volvos. I've heard that the 240's are more reliable than the 740/760. Is there any truth to this? Only trying to narrow down the choices, but I like them both so it makes it difficult. Thanks Be Well > Evening fellas, > > I love all of the RWD series volvos.

I've owned both for years, there's really not much difference from a maintenance/reliability standpoint. Some things are easier to fix on a 740 while others are easier on a 240. The 740 will generally have more bells & whistles so more to go wrong, but they're both good cars and should last a long time with decent care. Generally one can find a 740 quite a bit cheaper than a 240 in comparable condition, and you can get a relatively late model 700 series with a turbo so that's another consideration.

A 740 Turbo is superior as a highway driver due to its greater weight.

Adding another to the pot - I've had 240, 740 and 940 - the 940 was by far the best, the 740 the worst. We'd still have our 940 if it hadn't been trashed by someone crashing into it while parked.
