Ride, comfort, extras, safety, space
A little juicy 37mpg
I have had my 2nd hand Volvo 850 2.5l estate car on an M plate 1995 for 10 months now.
It has quite a few extras, leather, dual air con, wood trim elec win and mirrors.
I am thoroughly pleased woth it. It has done 120k miles, and still purrs like a kitten. The drive is smoother than my old merc 190, and the build quality is slightly better. It passed its mot with only a tyre replacement needed.
It is auto box and has enough kick to make overtacking safe and confident. And of course if you stick your nose out in busy traffic people just have to stop!
This is my 2nd the last being a 960 which i only replaced so to get the luvury extras. I recommend volvo's of any age.
