Volvo 850 Estate 2.3 R 5d Auto (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Good residuals. This is a top of the range car and fully loaded.
Costs
For a car this size and quality, they are as expected - but you have to top the A/C up every 12-18 months and it eats front tyres!

On the road
Driving
Awesome in a straight line - fluffy in corners. Drive hard to get the best out of it.
Performance
Chipped engine. 0-60 in 6.2, 300bhp, enough said!
-
Living with it
Reliability
106,000 miles and still driving like new - almost.
Image
Who cares! This car rocks from school run to track days.
Comfort
Firm ride, but very supportive (heated front and back) seats.

Security and Service
Security
Could be better, but adequate as standard.
Service
I use a non-franchise garage who are excellent.
