Hmmmmmm... 850

posted by someone claiming to be Punxsutawney Phil on Thu Jul 10 08:26 CST 2003 [RELATED]

According to the "Frequency of Repair' charts in Consumer Reports the 1993 has more black and half black dots ("bad") than any other year 2WD 850 or 70 (including the famous 1998s).

The 1993 is not on the "Used Cars to Avoid" list like the AWD Volvos, though. FWIW, judging by problem areas even the 1993's repair patttern looks about the same as the 240's and 940's and better than the 960's....
