Although many little fit and finish problems, the car has given me lots of trouble free miles in the sense that I drive over 30K miles a year.
Although the car completely died with an alternator problem, it was in my own driveway. It has never left me stranded.
Even though it has the base engine, it has plenty of zip with the 5-speed, handling is good and the seats are extremely comfortable.
Servicing and parts are very expensive.
I drove a 850 GLT, bought it second hand, had done 120.000 km, I sold it at 270.000 km. It was a great car, magnificent power, beautiful sound, and very very safe feeling. Nice under-steered and a high performance car.
I currently drive a 1996 850 GLT, nice!!! I hear the 1993-1995 models have had more problems. I do intend on keeping the car for it's intented life span of 20 yrs. (volvo designed this car to last that long). So, 2016 is when I sell the car.
Volvo for life.
