1996 Volvo 850 review from North America
"FAST, RELIABLE, Underrated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far... replaced a small slow oil leak before I purchased it.
General comments?
FAST FAST FAST.I'm 20 yrs old and ppl don't realize how fast this car is until I fly past them on the highway. I made this car my own... forget the old timer car stereotypes... This car is Reliable, powerful, roomy, and comfortable... I love it... I bought it used wit good mileage for under 3 grand. I turned the turbo up on it so I'm ready for anything. I'm a college student so I need a reliable car that is going to get back and forth to school from NJ to PA. Would def recommend this car. Its safe... the system is unbelievable for a factory and it's a powerful machine when you need it to be. The tranny blew on my 1990 BMW 535. I recently bought this car with hopes in selling it when I graduate. Not too sure if I am willing to do that anymore...I'm beginning to like it more and more everyday.
