Trunk is very large, but rear passenger leg room could be better.
The leather seats are very comfortable.

Paint is still very glossy after almost 8 years (even though plastic spoiler faded).
Well for most drivers out there, they would need a fast, good looking car. Then again, the Volvo 850 turbo (1996) is an outstanding car for people who like to go fast.
Speeds from 0-60, have been resulted to be 6.05 seconds.
With the car, it also comes with "turbo". The turbo only kicks in only if you put pressure towards the throttle.
Equipped with an amazing sound system, this makes your audio music sound like your at a concert. Also, The Volvo 850 turbo is a very safe car. performance of the car is so incredible, it can handle the road well. The car is also safe, with protected airbags and professional designing of the structure of the car from crashes. This car will be a good car for the people who like to have fun, and like to be safe. I recommend anyone to get any Volvo, but the Volvo 850 turbo is a great car for anyone.
