Having driven 240s for years (and I still feel that was the pinnacle of Volvo design), I do like the 850 I got off Craigslist for $600.

I like:
Sunroof
Built-in child car-seat
Peppier engine, yet better gas mileage

I LOVE pre-ford volvos! Saved my life at least twice.
Wrecked my dad's old 122, rolled it down a hill. It was OK, because the mechanic said he would NOT inspect that car again (before I wrecked it)
In my 240, I came around a sharp, steep downhill corner too fast. In any other car I would have died (flown off the road), but the 240 made the turn, even though it felt like the rear end was going to lift off...
