Which is the best Volvo Model? RWDs......

I disagree, personal experience says the 945t is the most expensive car i have EVER owened to run and the most unreliable!(had a partial service history and doing almost all my own maintenance) a 850 20 valve produces as much power and the engine is far better (no turbo, less stressed, better power curve etc), that said I would avoid a 850t like the plague, particualrly with the auto box - that simply was never designed for that much power!)

The NA 850 has to rate one of the lowest and easiest ownerships I have ever had.....

also the build quality onthe body/trim of the 850 is unquestionably better (far less rattles/squaks/broken fitments etc)

then again I AM talking about the the belgium built 940's and the swedish built 850's....

by and large the 700's seem to suffer from much the same faults as the 9's, but we never bought a turbo 7 - looked at a few and they all seemed to have engine issue....

hey everyone has their own experience, but as family ours are that the 7's/9's are to be avoided in preference for the 1's/2's or 8's...
