1995 Volvo 850 review from North America
"No"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 3 years, the automatic driver seat failed.
Radiator leak at 100,000 and also had to replace heating coil at the same time.
At 90,000 miles, the car began to make a whiney noise when you start it up in the morning. When it warms up, the noise goes away. Now, at 101,000 miles, it makes the whiney noise even after the first morning startup, but still goes away once the engine is warmed up a bit. Not sure why it does this. Repair shop didn't know for sure.
Weather strip began to peel and crack.
