Volvo 850 Estate 2.3 T-5R 5d Auto (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
This car was 30k new so hasn't really held its value. This is good for the 2nd hand market as great cars can still be bought for low prices.
Costs
Running costs are very reasonable and easily available. Joining the Volvo club will bring down the prices of spares and service items even more.

Driving
This car is just a joy to drive. As sedate or as manic as required. Auto box is smooth as silk with and provides a seamless change. Turbo is strong with little noticeable lag.
Performance
Absolutely Blistering performance.

Living with it
Reliability
As with all Volvos. Excellent reliability.
Image
In yellow this car attracts many an admiring look. I love it.
Comfort
With Alicante and half leather interior. Comfort is top notch. If driven fast you can tend to slide a little in the seats.
