LAST VOLVO EVER! 850

I would have to agree !

I have owned an 850 turbo since new in 1995. From the get-go it's has been one annoying thing after the other requiring fixing.

Going on the 2nd ac evaporator in only 74K miles ! This alone is a $1,200 to $1,600 repair for goodness sakes.

I do like the car's looks and the performance of the turbo. My wife absolutely refuses to take it on road trips because she feels it is not dependable.

BTW- All maintenance is followed by the book. Thank goodness for Bay13 at Volvospeed.com which has goods directions on how to do maintenance and repairs.

Fun car but high maintenance. For trips, I'll take my Sequoia.
