I am selling my beloved Volvo 850 sedan. I bought this from the original owner so it's a 2 owner car. It was serviced only at the Volvo dealership (the carfax confirms this), and is a GREAT and RELIABLE car. It has high mileage (342k) but if your familiar with Volvo then you know this thing will run forever 

This Volvo is also very safe! Volvo pride's themselves on their safety features 

This 94 Volvo 850 Sedan has a 5 cylinder, 2.4 liter, 168hp engine and manual transmission 

BRAND NEW TIRES 

This vehicle has 342,819 miles and runs like a tank! 

18 City, 25 Highway Miles Per Gallon 

I just had it inspected so the Annual Safety Inspection and Emission Stickers are good through 6/15! 

This vehicle is in great shape inside and out. No dents or major scratches on the body and the interior is in near perfect condition. Seriously, the guy who owned it before me was a CLEAN FREAK 

I have purchased a CARFAX on this vehicle and will show it to anyone interested. 

Routine Maintenance was been kept up such as fluid changes and belt services 

Recent Repairs Include: 

-Power Windows 
-Power Locks 
-Dual SRS Airbags 
-Heated Seats 
-FM/AM and tape cassette (better than a cd play in my opinion because you can get a tape cassette adaptor and not only run a cd player but also your ipod, iphone, or whatever digital device you want 
-Cruise Control 
-Large Trunk 


VEHICLE EXPERT REVIEW 

By Richard Truett 
Orlando Sentinel 
September 8, 1994 

I don't like the looks of the Volvo 850 Sportswagon. 

Then again I can't recall any Volvo - except the classic P1800 - whose looks I have liked. 

In fact, after testing Volvos on and off for five years, I think I am finally getting the message: Volvos aren't about trendy styling or driving the best-looking machine on your block. 

Nope. The real beauty of a Volvo can be found underneath the fenders. It's the durability, the ruggedness and the built-in safety features of the machine that make you like it. 

To dwell on the 850 Sportswagon's dowdy styling and weird taillights is to miss the point. 

PERFORMANCE 

The most powerful engine Volvo has ever built rests under the square hood of the Volvo 850 Sportswagon. It's a 222-horsepower, turbocharged, in-line five-cylinder aluminum engine of 2.3 liters. 

This terrific lightweight engine - which drives the front wheels - delivers the same level of performance you would expect from a small V-8. 

Smooth is not exactly how I would describe the way this engine runs. Perhaps the odd number of cylinders makes for more vibration than a four- or six-cylinder engine. However, I like the way the five-cylinder engine runs. It feels powerful. And it is. 

Nowhere in Volvo's press materials are you going to find an official 0-to-60 mph time - after all, Volvo has that safety reputation to protect. But in the pages of enthusiasts magazines such as Road and Track, you'll find that the 850 Sportswagon can reach 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds. That's fast. 

If you like cars that are quick from a stop, then you will be smitten with this car. Pressing the accelerator hard enough to activate the turbocharger gives the 850 enough power to make it leap into action. 

A turbocharger, by the way, is a pump driven by exhaust gas. It forces a denser mixture of fuel and air into the engine, which increases power while only marginally affecting fuel mileage. If you drive normally, you won'tuse the turbocharger much, but the device kicks in to make passing power nothing short of excellent. 

Speaking of fuel mileage, on a 900-mile one-day driving marathon to Pensacola and back, the 850 averaged 24.9 mpg on the road. 

HANDLING 

Has any car that ever looked so dull handled so brilliantly? Probably not. 

The 850 Sportswagon is definitely a street sleeper. The only thing that hints that the 850 is equipped with some serious high-performance hardware are its big 16-inch alloy rims and low-profile tires. 

You can drive the 850 just as hard and fast as you want. It can handle any curve at any legal speed. That would be a respectable feat for a sedan or sports coupe, but it's almost unheard of for a wagon, especially one not wearing a BMW badge. 

The ride is firm but not so stiff as to make the car tiresome to drive. It is very quiet on the road and over bumps. 

Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering allows you to turn a complete circle in a tight 33.5 feet. And the four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. 

Our test car came with optional traction control, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I tried it on a dirt road, but with the dash-mounted switch in either position, the front tires still spun. 

Volvo, which is a newcomer to front-wheel drive cars, really did its homework with the 850. You can't tell the front wheels are driving the car. 

FIT AND FINISH 

Even though the interior of the 850 Sportswagon is adorned with wood trim and leather upholstery, it still comes off as being more functional than stylish. 

The dash is rather square and plain-looking. The analog instruments, with their white letters, black background and orange needles are easy to read but not especially noteworthy. And the switches and buttons all have a somewhat heavy and utilitarian feel to them. 

Be that as it may, the interior of the 850 is an exceptionally comfortable placet be. I know; I spent 15 hours - 10 straight - behind the wheel. 

The heavily padded front bucket seats are just terrific. You don't just sit on them, you sit in them. You sink slightly in and then the seat firms up and holds you in place. The high head restraints look a bit awkward, but I can't recall a test vehicle that I felt protected my head and neck - and those of my passenger - better. 

More than any car I can remember, the seats in the 850 give you a feeling of security. 

Even though the 850 Sportswagon is a mid-sized car, it is an extremely well packaged vehicle, so it feels more like a large car. There is an abundant amount of head and leg room front and rear. 

The rear seats split and fold forward to allow for odd-size parcels to be stowed in the rear cargo area. Our test car came with a built-in child safety seat and practically every power accessory you could want, including a power sunroof.

All in all, the Volvo 850 Sportswagon is right up there with the Oldsmobile Aurora and Saab 900 S as one of the best vehicles I've tested this year. 
Specifications: 

1994 Volvo 850 Sportswagon Base price: $31,735 EPA rating: 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway Price as tested: $33,790 Incentives: None 

Truett's tip: The 850 Sportswagon is the ideal vehicle for young families. It's a car that can haul the kids as well as be driven fast and hard like a sports coupe. It just may be Volvo's best car.

US could get Chinese Volvos soon, possibly Geely joint-venture subcompact?

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

After a little more than three years since Volvo was acquired by China's Geely, it was only a matter of time before products from this marriage started to show up in the US. Although nothing seems to be written in stone, Automotive News is reporting that the US could be getting Chinese-made Volvos sooner rather than later.
In speaking with AN, Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said that Chinese Volvos could be exported to the US "fairly quickly," and while there was no word on any specific models being considered, the article points out that the S60 (shown above) is already being produced locally in China at a Volvo plant. Another possibility is the next-gen V40, which has reportedly received plenty of support from US Volvo dealers. Regardless of which model it is, Samuelsson doesn't seem too worried about a "Made in China" car receiving a negative reaction by US consumers, pointing to all the other Chinese products sold here.
On a global scale, AN is also reporting that Geely is working on a new subcompact platform co-developed with Volvo to compete against cars like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. There is no word as to whether or not this Geely-branded model would be coming to the US, but just last year, we heard that the Chinese automaker is looking to break into the US market by 2016.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
