Volvo 850 Saloon 2.0 GLT (143bhp) 4d (1993/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Hasn't done me bad at all.
Costs
A few costs after a year, but it is 10 years old - still going strong and strolled through the 2004 MOT at 126,000 miles.

On the road
Driving
Confident and very nippy in the corners - a firm but not over-harsh ride.
Performance
Er, I think this is a very quick car - easily capable of 130 if I felt wreckless.

Living with it
Reliability
Problem with a sensor that proved costly (however, was at 120,000 miles).
Image
I am a Volvo driver and do feel like I own the road, thankee!
Comfort
I find it easy to get into - I am tall and the first car I can get my legs under the wheel of!

Security and Service
Security
Okay.
Service
Very helpful, if a little costly in labour charges.
