fix the 850, or pick up a 960? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be David on  Mon Jan 25 22:05 CST 2016 [RELATED]

Bought a 1993 850 new for wife and still have it. Bought a 96 960 used with low miles in 1999 as my second driver. In 2001 wife got a new one and I took the 850 and sold the 960. The 850 is more comfortable, fun to drive and roomer than the 960. Just looks better to. There is nothing out there to make me give it up.

The 960 was ok but interior plastics broke, rear rotors warp easily, had a top heavy feel to handling and it has the transmission tunnel, which annoyed my foot placement.

If your 850 is still clean and you like it why not go with what you know?
