Good Points

Top design, good looks, lots of comfort and power, safe.

Bad Points

Poor build quality, drivers seat base changed twice. Air con/climate is a wast of space.
Turning circle is terrible.

General Comments

This is my third Volvo, 850 estate and the last one was a Volvo S60 2.0t.

This car is not up to standard, the diesel is noisey, and the fuel economy on motorway journeys, does not come up to expectations at 36/37 per gal.

Climate control, cannot make its mind up what temp to supply.
Have had to have a new rear screen because the heater interfeard with the radio.
Drivers seat base has been replaced twice in 35000 miles as it dropped 2 inches.

In short, what have volvo done? Give me back my 187000 mile 850, and take this thing away.

    I think you've got a duffer. What's wrong with the seat? How many pies do you eat?

    Re-comment by pshore.

    Seat base has dropped two inches, leather has now been changed three times.

    With ref to the pies, not many, 11 stone 3.

    NEW TO THE PROBLEMS.

    Sit down when you ask for an extended warranty to take car from 60 to 100'000 miles its £1'400.

    well there's definitely something wrong with it.
    nothing has gone wrong with mine in the last year.
    have you tried the sale of goods act?
