choices, choices . . . 240 or 850 ? 200

You've driven a relatively sad little 240 then. I have an 83 245 with IPD anti sway bars, neoprene track rod bushings, and Bilstein struts and shocks. The overall handling on my car is in no way soft. I too have quick, precise steering. Just for giggles, I took her around the SCCA rally race course, and she bested several cars that were set up to race (because of the anti-sways I had to race as a mod). I agree, an 850 is a nice cushy car, with all the bells and whistles, and a sporty look. However, if a person is accustomed to rear wheel drive, and the turning radius provided by a rear wheel drive Volvo, the front wheel drive 850 won't feel like a welcome change.
