Volvo 850 Estate 2.5 SE (170bhp) 5d (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought second-hand. Mercedes quality at half the price.
Costs
I drive it hard and it shows in the fuel bills. Not bad if driven gently.

Driving
Not bad. A bit wallowy around corners and steering too light.
Performance
It's a big, heavy car, but the 2.5 20v copes nicely.
