850 general reliability, dependability 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Rich S on  Tue Jan 22 01:30 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My 97 850R has been very reliable. I did purchase an extended warranty because I knew of the evaporator failure. It did fail and that paid for the warranty.
The issues my car has had are:
turbo replacement because it was noisey when cold(really didn't need to be replaced)
Battery under warranty
trans mode switch
Evaporator
Thats it. The car has 56k on it and is driven quite hard but maintained by myself.
I think the later the year the better overall.
