1996 Volvo 850 CD Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
This is the 5th Volvo Estate I have had. All have been previously owned. The highest mileage I had before moving on was in a 740 auto estate which had 225,000 miles and was still running OK!
The 850 is the best Volvo I have owned and quite different from its predecessors. At last a Volvo that doesn't need training wheels in order to go round corners. Engine sounds great and it has every creature comfort you can think of.
