Reviewed a 1997 Volvo T5 Turbo on Dec 1, 2009
Just over 130,000 miles on our 97 850t5. The car still runs and drives fantastic. We plan to still be driving it when it reaches 250,000. Keep maitaining them and they will just keep on going. Volvo 4 life...Other than the fact that it's a little dated being so square it still looks sporty. I see one year old cars that are worse than my 97. It's safe fast reliable and still a whole lot of fun.

Owned and drove the Volvo 850 for many years. It was the first car I've ever drive. Performance: the 222 HP turbo charged engine give the driver one hell of a ride. It's an engine that's demanding a great driver to tame. Yet, it can be precise enough for anyone to control. The handing was superb was a car this size and weight and at its time. The state of the art, "Delta-link semi- independent rear suspension," prevent the car from under-steering for a front wheel drive car of course. Although I drove the automatic 4 speed transmission, it was very sporty. It's no wonder in the 90s the 850 was used in many motor sports and even in rally sport. Interior: It has one of the most luxurious interior for a car at its time. Leather seat, leather steering wheel. Exterior: from the outer appearance, it's not a beautiful car. It's big and it looks like a match box but who cares? Reliability: For Volvo, every of its first generation model's reliability are in serious question for reliability. However, the T5 on the other hand is one of the last in the 850 series. It is extremely reliable. Major repairs are only determined by driving habits. Gas milage: For a car with this kind of weight, power, engine, and age, it was considered good for its time. Averaging 12.5-13 Liters to 100 KM, a full tank can give you an average of 470 KM +-.
