Identifying traits of 850T-5R 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Alan on  Fri Aug 25 14:51 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I have a white 850 T5R with auto tranny ('97 vintage, 135K on the clock). Great car, very quick, handles nicely, very comfortable for long trips (1000 miles from Grand Canyon to San Francisco in a day was easy) but less well suited to round-town driving because it's geared for travel not crawl. Gas milage 25+ on long trips, ~18 round town (US gallons per mile.)

As for "is it real?" -- sorry, I don't know. I know mine is from the docs that came with it, including the original sale sticker for an astonishing price!
