  • What's it like to drive a Volvo 850R? I talk about the 1996 Volvo 850R on a mid-January drive to test out the newly installed IPD Turbo Control valve. Michigan: fix our roads.

    Definitely one of the best car since 90s. Proud to own it for a few years! The sound of 5 cylinder, nothing like it! 🔝

    Best car ever made. Currently in the market for one. And in Canada we got the 5 speed manuals

    Nice video dude. One of 2 best cars ever made (the other is the BMW e46). I have a 850 Turbo Sports-wagon and a red 1996 850R Sedan. Gotta love the suede/leather combo seats. Enjoy!

    I agree that the car really only needs sway bars. The stock suspension provides enough stiffness.

    You'll find an 850r on my wish list. Looks lovely but the sound gets me. Nice car mate

    Definitely one of the coolest cars ever, driving myself an manual 855R (wagon), stock besides IPD TCV and 18 inch wheels.
    Off topic, man those are some really bad roads, feel sorry for the car. :(

      @TheTopher  8 лет назад +2

      Yeah, the roads around here are terrible. That's Michigan for you! Also the dashboard rattles a lot which makes it sound worse, needs some new clips eventually....

    Metro Detroit here. Also driving a euro classic...1999 Passat GLS 1.8t manual. running 19 PSI with bolt ons and a rs4 clutch. All original looking besides rims. I even just paid $90 for some authentic monster mats. (factory floor mats). I would like to run against this 850R in stock form.

    I find it funny you had an NA 850 with the 5 speed and now you have an 850R. I also have an NA 850 with the 5 speed as well as my 1996 850R :)

    Volvo is one of the world best cars. Swedes can make so great and safety cars. Here in Finland is Volvo the 3th best selling car brand after Volkswagen and Skoda. I'm wondering why you don't have Skoda on the North American market.

      Skoda's tends to be more reliable than VW, they get to pick and choose parts from the whole VW group so don't diss them. Probably the most reliable cars that the VW group makes...

    Hey man, I'm planning on buying a 97' 850R, I found one and it's pretty clean around 160k miles. What do you recommend me to look out for when I go to see it? How's the gas mileage? Thanks
