good things about the 850 engine..... 850

I have 127,000 miles on mine. I was going to say that it still used no oil between changes, except that I just checked it and it was down 1/2 quart. OK, so 1/2 quart every 2000 miles at 127,000 miles still isn't all THAT bad!

The problems I've had with the car are all things that are attached to the engine and transmission, not the engine and transmission. Still, it's not an awful car. Safe, fun to drive. I'm giving it to my daughter, and hoping to get at least 150,000 from it.
