Thinking about trying my first 850, by a 240 driver. Comments 850 1996

I drove a 1980 245 for years, and in Jan of 2007, bought an 850 wagon 5 speed. I'm amazed by the refinement in ride quality and performance. I was worried that the 850 would lose the Volvo 240 charm, but it doesn't. While retaining that intangible Volvo build quality and style, the 850 adds some great improvements, like a super quiet ride, much more power with about the same MPG, and a much better interior build quality. I highly recommend them.
