I have been driving this car for about 5 months now and have had nothing go wrong with it at all..I'm hoping that my good luck keeps going.
From that 12-15 cars that I have owned over the last 6 years I have to say that this sits right next to my fav, my old bmw 540, I think that that says enough about it.. i love this car, it took me a long time to find a glt, 5 speed, wagon, but when I found it and drove it I had to by it. I am I very active person and this car fits everything from buddys to snowboards to my full mountain bike inside it with room to spare.
I am Quite amazed with the performance from speed to handling, before I bought this car the phrase "sport wagon" was a oxymoron to me, but this car proves it. I can take a corner faster then a mustang and god forbid if I did crash I believe that I would be OK.. I inside is as slicks as they come with leather, roof and heated everything.. for a car that's going on 10 years old, this is one that should not be over looked.. Also, I don't care what anyone says about the styling of the wagon, I think its as nice as they come, it's hard to find a car under 30 grand brand new that has to offer what my gleaming silver 96 Volvo 850 glt does.
I concur with these sentiments. After seven months of shopping I found a silver 1997 Volvo 850 wagon, all wheel drive, five speed manual gearbox. It will replace a 1984 Volvo Turbo wagon that has been, to date, the best car I have owned. I am a professional driver, advanced driving instructor, and automotive journalist, so I get to sample a lot of different machinery. This vehicle is impressive.
