850T pros and cons 850

posted by  someone claiming to be yct on  Thu Feb 22 10:56 CST 2007 [RELATED]


Pros: fast, good highway milage (~30 at 75 mph), OK city mileage (~18 in large city driving), large trunk, low maintenance during the first 12.5 years, 1995 is last year with onboard diagnostics, excellent original equipment

Cons: sport suspension is for European roads (not the goat-freeways of the midwest), lousy spare tire, unsafe knobs for power windows (particularly if you have kids)

Opinion:
It has been the best car I have driven on both sides of the Atlantic during the last 30 years (after 700k miles on this side of the Atlantic and 100k miles on the other side).
