I was visiting a Volvo repair shop not too long ago while I was getting my dad's S70 fixed (nothing major). In talking to one of the techs present, he started telling me how he loved the 850 series in general but what struck me was this- he claimed that the 850 was the world's best production car in terms of practicality, safety, and durability. What's more, he singled out the '96 models as the best 850s of them all (and I have a '96 myself). This guy even said that the last of the 850s were better than the last 240s.
What do you guys think? The 850 may be a great car but I can think of many other models that can lay claim to being the world's greatest.
