Volvo 850 Estate 2.3 T5 CD Turbo 5d Auto (1997/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Used car market has loads. Finding a nice one was harder, but it is worth getting a nice one - love it!
Costs
Volvo specialists are loads cheaper. Disappointed that main dealers don't do discount on older cars!

On the road
Driving
Supurb handling and grip for a rather large FWD car.
Performance
Power all the way 225 bhp and less than £600 buys you a 305bhp chip - one on its way...
-
Living with it
Reliability
Always a risky one to tempt fate, but starts and goes everytime!
Image
In a Volvo appreciating group it sits well, still a bit boxy though!
Comfort
Full leather, cruise, auto - I could do 500 miles and not feel it!
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm as standard - I have had privacy glass fitted, which is a deterrant!
Service
Best dealers ever. I have had to deal with Land Rover, Porsche, Audi and VW in my time and Volvo is far supiror down to earth nice bunch!
