On the road
Driving
A very comfortable drive, soft clutch smooth gears precise steering but lacks power the old 20v 850 is much livelier.
Performance
Very underpowered. Top speed I have reached is 120mph and it will not go any more. I had a 850 2.0 20v and was much quicker. Although the actual drive is very stable and the road holding is excellent.

Living with it
Reliability
FANTASTIC. 100k miles and not a penny spent on it except a new battery.
Image
Volvo seems to attract an image of OLD. This car breaks that mould.
Comfort
A very comfortable ride and drive. I have done many long journeys and it is very comfortable.

Security
One of the best alarm systems and the key pad has a fantastic range.
