I had an 850R wagon, and it was quite possibly, overall, the best car I've ever owned. Reliable, I mean REALLY RELIABLE, fun to drive, would do over 130+ mph

, and actually handled good too!
That was one of the last pre ford volvos though. I'm not sure about about the newer one. I've heard good, and I've heard bad. Seems to depend on the model. I really would consider another one.
