The Volvo 850 is lovely, full leather interior, heated seats, traction control, heated mirrors, remote central locking, air con and electrics everywhere including an info centre on the dash which tells you more than you ever need to know including how many miles until you run out of juice. The ride is smooth and gives you a real feeling of security, it feels well built and indeed it is. This is a stylish car for those who want something not too flashy but appreciated by people who matter, you won't get respect from boys in souped up hatches but if you are looking at volvo I doubt you care about those types of people anyway. The car is reasonably fast (125bhp) but lacks a bit up hills and is eager to change down a gear in this situation. Overall the 850 is a great car and very practical, the built in car seat is a great convenient extra, and the car is great around town and comfy on the motorway. One for those who get through a bit of mileage per year.

Review of Volvo 850
Advantages: You can burn off a Porsche 911, or load it up for a summer camping trip, either way a very useable car! Disadvantages: Some problems on some models are possible, eg Turbocharger can suffer from severe driving.

Review of Volvo 850
Advantages: Reliable, cheap on fuel and great fun with the carrying capacity of a removal van! Disadvantages: None, except perhaps getting a little old in the tooth!
