1996 Volvo 850 review from Norway
"A great car in every way, but a bit slow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust pipe, suspension, nothing serious.
General comments?
Excellent car that still runs like a clock in spite of the high mileage. In the winter it's a monster. The car stands outdoors all through the year, and since I live in rural Norway, the weather conditions can be extreme. The car never fails.
