Volvo 850 Estate 2.3 R 5d (1996/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Great fun and fantastically fast for the traffic light GP!
Costs
Parts are about par for the course. Tyres disappear like melting ice.

On the road
Driving
Handles and goes like a sportscar. A revelation for such an enormous bus.
Performance
Absolutely no issues here, apart from licence-losing ability. Should come with a health warning.
-
Living with it
Reliability
170,000 miles and still going strong. Just replaced turbo. That is all.
Image
It looks mean and menacing, even 23 year old lads know what they are.
Comfort
Ride is perhaps a bit firm; trade-off against superb handling.
-
Security and Service
Security
Very good. Secondary security such as tracker suggested as my previous T5 was stolen.
Service
Courteous and considerate.
