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. |

Hyundai Sonata PHEV may be a game (and mind) changer
Wed, Jun 17 2015If you really, really want to consume volts instead of fuel on your way to work, school or shopping, you currently have just three options: pure EV, hydrogen fuel cell, or plug-in hybrid EV. Much as we love them, we all know the disadvantages of BEVs: high prices due to high battery cost (even though subsidized by their makers), limited range and long recharges. Yes, I know: six-figure (giant-battery) Teslas can deliver a couple hundred miles and Supercharge to ~80 percent in 10 minutes. But few of us can afford one of those, Tesla's high-voltage chargers are hardly as plentiful as gas stations, and even 10 minutes is a meaningful chunk out of a busy day. Also, good luck finding a Tesla dealership to fix whatever goes wrong (other than downloadable software updates) when it inevitably does. There still aren't any. Even more expensive, still rare as honest politicians, and much more challenging to refuel are FCEVs. You can lease one from Honda or Hyundai, and maybe soon Toyota, provided you live in Southern California and have ample disposable income. But you'd best limit your driving to within 100 miles or so of the small (but growing) number of hydrogen fueling stations in that state if you don't want to complete your trip on the back of a flatbed. That leaves PHEVs as the only reasonably affordable, practical choice. Yes, you can operate a conventional parallel hybrid in EV mode...for a mile or so at creep-along speeds. But if your mission is getting to work, school or the mall (and maybe back) most days without burning any fuel – while basking in the security of having a range-extender in reserve when you need it – your choices are extended-range EVs. That means the Chevrolet Volt, Cadillac ELR or a BMW i3 with the optional range-extender engine, and plug-in parallel hybrids. Regular readers know that, except for their high prices, I'm partial to EREVs. They are series hybrids whose small, fuel-efficient engines don't even start (except in certain rare, extreme conditions) until their batteries are spent. That means you can drive 30-40 (Volt, ELR) or 70-80 miles (i3) without consuming a drop of fuel. And until now, I've been fairly skeptical of plug-in versions of conventional parallel hybrids. Why?
Volvo Concept Coupe may see limited production
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Despite the impressive production debuts from Porsche and BMW at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show - the 918 Spyder and the i8, respectively - there was one car that captured the attention of the press and the public alike, enough so that we awarded it our overall top pick of the show: the Volvo Concept Coupe. Most concepts never make it to production, but the car's reception has been so positive that Volvo's board of directors is considering to produce it in limited quantities, Auto Bild reports. Italian coachbuilder Bertone could handle the limited production run.
Styled after the classic P1800, the Volvo concept was similar to the new Porsche and BMW in that it was equipped with a high-performance hybrid drivetrain. But Volvo took a different route from there, giving the sleek coupe a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor at the rear axle. All in, the combo is good for 400 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque.
If the Concept Coupe makes it to production, it may not get the trick hybrid drivetrain mentioned above, Motor Athority reports, but a milder plug-in hybrid setup or even just a conventional fuel-burning engine. In any case, it would be a treat if Volvo produced a fully functional, street-legal Concept Coupe, though at that point we're thinking it would be due for a name change.
How many other cars does it take to kill a Volvo?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012We all know how safe Volvo cars are, but a European junkyard has decided to put it to the test by crashing, jumping and rolling the life out of an 850 wagon. While government tests use automated systems to crash new cars, the guys in this video do so with a driver behind the wheel. Aside from what looks like a safety harness and roll bar for the driver, it seems like this car is otherwise bone stock.
Not wanting to spoil the fun for you, we'll just point out that at the start of the video, our hero car looks pretty flawless, and by the end, well, let's just say the Craigslist ad for the car would say "needs some body work." Check out the video below to watch some stunts that even the Duke Boys might shy away from.
