Used 1995 Volvo 850 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Happy and over 100K
Purchased the vehicle new in 95' loveing it ever since. Currently 120K + miles on it and she is rinning fine. Leather seats starting to wear a bit and some minor ac problems but all in all it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I hope to drive it until 200K then get a new Volvo(the XC 90 looks nice).
Marions Review
This has been a great car for me and my family. There have been very few mechanical problems. This car still gets looks from people as we drive down the road. You definitely have a great sense of security in the Volvo.
High Maintenance Baby
Have loved my 850T. Rides good, fast acceleration at hwy entry and exits. Has been a solid and fun to drive car. But very high maintenance, sensitive and has been problematic with things that rarely break on other cars. At 135K miles, I have had to replace the normal wear and tear items like belts, batteries and hoses but have had interior trim crack. Door panel cover fell off, sun roof top cover peeled off, cup holders broke, cassette had to be replaced and both over heat and distort tape sound, rear speakers are shot, lights burn out quickly. The suspension and ride are bumpy now and have had ongoing problems with oxygen sensor, oil leaks, coolant leaks, turbo hose and turbo line. Costly!
Best decision I've ever made!
My daughter was hit head-on by another car and walked away without a scratch. Buying her this car was the best decision I've ever made. The car was a total loss, so I'm looking for another. Very reliable, roomy car, that proved to me everything Volvo has been saying about safety.
Better Than My BMers
Cost me less, has front wheel drive for slick roads and is much quicker than my previous BMW 533.
