J.D. Powers Report on Reliablity 850

posted by  someone claiming to be claude on  Thu Jul 10 12:38 CST 2003 [RELATED]

265,000 miles on my 1994 850 base 5 spd. which I purchased new.
Most trouble free car I have ever owned.
still on original exhaust! replaced the following:
clutch due to bad rear main seal 260 k miles
front calipers 200k+
struts 190k
front wheel bearings 220k
starter 220k
water pump (preemptively-turned out to be still good) at 220k

ABS light is on much of the time, starting to get a few rust spots on rear tailgate, but the car has never been garaged. 10 Northern New England winters!

Other than the pervasive smell of old neoprene from my kayak gear, the car is good as new!

Sorry to hear of everyone's troubles. They are not all bad cars.

Claude
1994 855M 265,000 miles and going strong
