850's reliable??? 850

I'd rate our 850 and 760t as equally reliable. Bought them both used with good maintenance records, which is important. Compared to other recent cars I've had the Volvos have been as reliable as an Accord and a Toyota pickup; never had any reliability-related issues with any of them. The 850 (and the Accord) = difficult to work on. 760t and pickup = easy to work on.

Both of our Volvos are much more enjoyable to drive than the others I listed. Just wish Volvo made a really good diesel; I sometimes wish I still had my 83 Mercedes 240 diesel!
