1994 Volvo 850 SE review from UK and Ireland
"A well built, stylish car that has only improved through time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car is quick and handles beautifully.
However, although the acceleration is good, the real power only kicks in at approximately 1500 to 2000 revs with this model.
Although the cabin accessories are simple to look at, they are very well made, and plentiful.
The accessories include heated seats, electric and heated mirrors and electric windows, however only the passenger side mirror is electric and the tilt and slide sunroof is manual, maybe this is Volvo's way of separating the models.
The car is very spacious in both front and rear cabins and the boot.
One of the best things with this car is it's towing power and the very good economy whether towing or not.
