I have 855t and 944 n/a 850

I have to admit, after driving the 855t ('96), I cringe driving 940 due to lack of power. But then, after driving a '91 244, it seems like a sports car. :)

I had the '93 944 (Volvo, not Porche, ha...) for 5 years and the only problems I had were recent a/c issue, and occasional electrical issue. It's been rock solid otherwise. I had a chance to sell it, but handed it over to my father instead.

944 is roomier, ride is softer, with the biggest trunk space I've seen in a sedan so far. My mechanic think it'll last till my 5 year old son gets his license. :)

I love the power of 855t, cargo space, but ride if much firmer, and yes, the engine bay is very crowded. Only had for 6 mo so far, but no problems yet.

As long as you're not looking for equivalent power, and prefer RWD, can't go wrong with 940. Turbo will definitely help. Make sure there are no a/c or electrical issues.
