Recently wrecked it with 121k. Survived without a scratch, airbags never deployed. Safety is #1; integrated roll bar, side impact air bags. Performance wise, 5 cylinder can smoke any non-Volvo 6 cyl. turbo. Hard to believe they make this with a turbo. It has a supple ride, even on bad roads.I once took it thru an S curve at 50 mph, and just noticed a barely perceptible body lean. Yokahama tires are recommended! great in snow. Now the problems I had:AC evaporator went out around 100k,rear main seal leaked at 105k, Antilock breaks and traction control went out around 80k (still brakes like a car without ABS). Repairs are expensive, but the eng. and trans. flawless. I will buy another!

This is a great vehicle. A forgotten future classic. It was Volvo low production hi-performance sedan. This particular car was manufactured for a half year, and the last of the 850’s. Beefed up suspension, and turbo, produced 240 HP. Trim package was also attractive with 17” Volcan wheels, wrapped with 195/35/17 low profile tires. The stiff suspension provides for roller coaster like handling. Other attributes include front and rear spoiler package, and recaro like seats wrapped in Alcatara suede and leather. Bang for the buck!!!

Bought one with 218,000 on broken odometer. Put at least a couple hundred thousand more on it.
