Hi,
i am interested in buying an 850, preferably a turbo. I am unfamiliar with them and drive a 240 at the moment.
I was interested to know what the more notable problems with this model are. I have heard about transmission failures being common and A/C probs.
Also, what sort of power/torque can one expect from the 5 cyl turbo? Is the turbo as long lasting as the normally aspirated engine?
Cheers, Jaan H.
