I have driven a 850 turbo automatic for a few years and it perorms great. I bought a v70 5 spd non turbo that wasn't nearly as fast, so got a v70 t-5 5 speed that is very zippy. I drove it in a SCCA event, didn't handle tight enough, so tried my 850 glt. By far it was the best choice! I guess it comes down to what you want to do with the car in a certain situation.
