Have had two - utterly reliable. Turbo OK if she's a responsible driver, but the normally aspirated engine has pretty good pop for a meager 114hp (how did Volvo do it?). The turbo comes with beefier suspension and brake components. Feels more solid up front.

My turbo ran to 165K before I sold it, and the 92 normally aspirated is at 172K and well on the way to 250K or more. We change oil, tires, brakes, and occasionally the exhaust system.

Both are 4cyl engines.

The FWD 850 also available, but are new models (US introduction 1993) and somewhat trouble prone, though better appointed and the 5cyl engine is more powerful.
