"Drives well but extremely expensive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Suspension, transmission (replaced two of them), replaced at least 3 set of tires due to suspension problems, replaced all front end suspension parts, replaced rotors, starter, radiator, fuel pump, camshaft position sensor, etc.

General comments?

This car has been a hole in the pocket.

The 850 Turbo wasn't introduced until 1994.

First of all the 850 turbo is a fabulous car an absolute legend in its own right. it just sounds like you got a bad one which is unfortunate. And secondly the turbo was made in 1993 although it's a 1994 model it had the newer bumpers, lights, airbag etc and in the mid to end of 1994 it was re badged the t5.

It was only re badged as T5 in Europe. In America was 850 Turbo till the end of production.

OK fair enough you are correct about the rename in europe only. I live in Northern Ireland. But here is another little bit of info which you may or may not find useful; the 850 was introduced almost a year earlier to europe than america which may answer why you cannot get a '93 turbo in the states.

You can't get 93' turbo in EU either. Turbo was available in 94'.
