1994 Volvo 850 GLT review from UK and Ireland
"So much car for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine temperature sensor replaced.
Drivers heated seat not working.
Tailgate central locking actuator not working.
General comments?
Despite a few slight problems, this car is fantastic, it handles very well and is reasonably economical.
The general feel and Volvo build quality give you the impression that it will last for many years to come.
In comparison to the newer V70 model (2000 on) I think the 850 is built better.
