Have enjoyed everything about R! Great acceleration, handling good for sedan. Been smacked 3 times by poor drivers....great protection, never close to injury! Safety plus. Seats are best...cannot stand other luxury seats..especially for long trip, replaced radio x'x 3 (all on warranty.) A/C fine for 6 years, then leak in heater coil. Ride harsher than GLT sedan, but wouldn't trade ddue to other features. Love it at 207K miles....hate the "soft" 17 inch wheels, bend...but saved life once so....! Cannot find a replacement with all features I like ...keep it til 300K or 400K.

This car is off the hook. When you click sport mode and hit the gas POWER POWER. I love racing this poeple with audi's mustangs Grand prix GTP's. They all think that volvos are slow yet they don't know about the 8.6Psi turbo charger under the hood. The turbo charger is the heart and sole to to the 850 turbo model. It just loves to sip on oil.

Safest car I've ever been in--and it feels that way too. Some electrical problems early on, but the dealer fixed them under warranty. Extremely comfortable ride, well laid-out interior.
the right blend

Bought 6/2002 from 2nd owners and have been very pleased in the past year and a half. Power is great for highway passing, gas mileage good - typically 26-30 mpg, reliability good - just scheduled maint. (outside of a replaced battery) despite being just over 100K now. Highly recommended.
great car

I was involved in a serious accident in this car. I attribute survivorship to the excellent safety of the GLT volvo sedan. While other cars involved in the accident (mercedes, infiniti, lexus) were literally demolished, mine performed very well and maintained the safety of the passenger cabin. I have owned about a dozen volvos and will never drive another car. The 850 GLT is my favorite because I think the design is unique and attractive, and the car is a lot of fun to drive.
