I had a 2001 v70xc 5m and I preferred the 1994 850 wagon - the one on gumtree in Melbourne- as a car to drive
I kept the v70xc for 4 months the 850 for 4 years if that's a hint
Agreed John. We've moved out to the country so I was only considering the XC for the rough and sometimes unsealed country roads where the AWD would come in handy, to replace our C30 T5. My only experience with an 850 was my parents' 1995 850T which had a bone-jarring ride...possibly because my dad had a thing where he always pumped the tyres to the maximum pressure on the sidewall, which was 44 psi if I recall...I do really like the 850 shape Cross Country...not as bloated as the next generation.
