So, what about 850s? 850

THe 850 turbos are fun cars to drive.

But you better either love working on your car or marry a mechanic - these 850's require lots of attention.

I have had my 850 turbo since new in 1995 and have 72K miles on it.

If you do a lot of the work yourself- the car is OK. You'll lose patience if you require taking in to the dealer each time (as well as poorer).

The a/c evaporator leak problem is noteworthy and a chronic problem. It cost about $1,500 to fix at the dealer.

My advice, if you want an 850 get the turbo . It's no less reliable and a whole lot more fun to drive than the non turbo.
