Yes, thank you Steve for all the great work! As a 240 owner for 11 years the 700/900 FAQ was a great resource to me too.

I do have one request though and I'm sure other FWD owners concur. Can we leave out the section where someone trashes all 850's/S70's/V70's just because he had a lemon? Some of what is stated there is blatantly untrue. Doing so is unfair to 850 and S/V70 owners and their car's value. Look, they are not RWD cars. They are a different beast and are well built FWD cars (at least the early ones through MY 2000). I personally know of 240/740/940's that were lemons too. It is common knowledge that the 95-97 850's and 98 S/V70's are some of the best cars Volvo ever built. As a point of fact, my 95 855 has been more dependable, less problematic, cheaper to maintain and way more fun to drive than my 90 244. And the 244 was a very good car indeed!
