I ordered my S70 with a manual tranny but found my 850 with a manual tranny used. They do exist and they really make a difference. They designed these cars for a manual. I go to europe 2/3 times a month and I always look to see if I can even find an automatic volvo in Europe. I have seen one or two but even the S80s there are 99% Manuals!!!! The last cab ride I took from Leuven, Belgium to the airport was in a 1996 850 Wagon. It was a gas (suprise most are diesel) and it had 611,000 kilometers on it or roughly 380,000 miles. All original tranny and engine. It had quite a few rattles, but the cab driver raved about the volvos saying they were better than Mercedes at half the price.

1999 S70 96,000 (5 speed stock)

1995 850 Wagon 125,000(5 speed stock)
