i have a 1994 volvo 850 glt. it is an automatic with power everythin including a sunroof. i have the headlight wipers and a button to choose my fuel economy intake. i have put in a supercharger kit with a cold air intake by AEM. i absolutly love driving/racing/goofin/partyin with my car. the stock radio is still good but im looking to replace it soon bc i want a lil more quality/custom. my car has a lil over 120k on it and deffinately still going. they are rated as 300-400k life expectancy.my volvo is solid with excellent safty standards. it performs good but i can get more and the look is stock but still good for a '94. no rattles but prices can b salty if u don't know an inside guy like i do. the volvo 850 sits low to the ground and handles the best i hav ever felt. it gets 33 mpg highway and about 26 in the city. THATS GREAT FOR THE POCKET! i hav redone the interior a little, like the center console and other random plastics wer painted by me to match the extior color of the car. the exterior paint is put on heavily for rust reduction and has a brilliant shine to it after its buffed
Pros:
engine, interior and exterior are going to last themselves for forever
Cons:
i had to replace little parts for ppl being jealous of my car

1997 Used Volvo 850 4 Dr T5 Turbo Wagon Review

Volvo has a vault-like build quality, using good body stiffness and quality materials to provide a stable, sure-footed feel. The T5 motor was definitely the heart of the car. Endless torque once on the boost. Competent handling, especially considering the heft and size of the wagon. Cavernous and properly shaped load area can swallow anything. The seats were secretly engineered to avoid sore spots after 8+ hours on the road.
Pros:
performance, cargo capacity, comfort, styling
Cons:
parts prices, no manual transmission offered

A well built car that is safe and still fairly sporty. It has some understeer problems but it's still more powerful than most think. I have serviced it myself and it is cheap to maintain. The interior is also comfortable and functional.
Pros:
Looks, performance, quality
Cons:
Handling, non-turbo

The Volvo 850 hmmm let me think. It flat out could be the worst car ever made ever in the history of automotive anything build quality looks and anything everything about it sucks. Gas mileage is appalling about on a good day 18 breaks down every other day and the repairs cost more than the frickin car i hope it blows up and i get the 300 dollars of insurance money its worth if that. Thats what i think about this car
Pros:
Um since I have it it has a frickin amazing stereo. Other than that it sucks.
Cons:
Everything

This car was quiet, smooth, and had had a certain dignity. It was a great college car because it never broke and it was incredibly comfortable with all the luxery upgrades like leather, sunroof and heated power seats. This Volvo had a huge gas tank and even though I commuted 80 miles every weekend, I rarely had to fill it. I never had to maintain it more than fluids and tire rotations. It had tight brakes like any volvo, and slower acceleration due to its heavy body. Still, once the acceleration would kick in it was fast and easy to manuver. A downside was the boxy body, but that never bothered me because it was solid as a tank and great in the snow as it was so heavy. I got hit by a drunk driver in an suv that was speeding and ran a stop sign. My volvo was totalled, along with his truck which jumped a divider, but no one in my car was hurt. Both men in the truck had head injuries. This car was fantastic in the accident. I am alive today because of it's superior performance. I had a blast driving it and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one.
Pros:
safe, easy to drive, comfortable, reliable, low maintenance
Cons:
boxy body
