>>16871740
That's what I thought.

Shit car man. Probably one of the only rust-prone Volvos ever made in the modern era, thanks for platform sharing with Mitsubishi's Charisma.

I was thinking more in the way of how the boot joins the greenhouse and then projects to the rear, reminds me of the E39

NedCar a shit

The first car I ever drove (way back in '03) was a 2001 S40 1.9t. It wasn't that bad desu.

I don't know where you live but it ain't the '80s anymore.

>>16889003
Exactly, the '80s was the time when Volvos came with biodegradable harness insulation. After that they got gud (and Benz commited the same mistake around '94, plaguing a whole generation with electric gremlins).

Pigfat with shittier build quality, sperg harder pls.

>>16889075

Anon knows whats up.

I have one of these. It was bought in 04, they were trying to get rid of stock for the upcoming gen. 1.6 engine also.

The car is pretty comfy, but is slow as fuck and handles like a goddamn boat.

>>16889159
>1.6 engine also
that's where you fucked up anon
>>16889137
How is it any more pigfat? How does it have less build quality?

>>16871583
Wrong. The S40 looks like a 2000s car, the S70 looks timeless. S40 looks more dated.

>>16889165
850 has better galvanization, less electronics to break and lower weight.
They feel very different even though they are essensially the "same car"

>>16889261
>850 has better galvanization
I don't know so I won't dispute this
>less electronics to break
Not if it's the one with onboard computer. Besides I once went to see a 850 and the ABS didn't work and it had a warning light dealing with the coolant (which I later learned has to do with a sensor malfunction caused by cables corroding). The owner also said he had an issue with the wires that go to the pump and he almost bought a new pump (worth about $1k here) but the mechanic suggested checking the wiring and the problem was indeed there. So plenty of things to go wrong with the car's electronics. The ABS module often stops working because of bad solder joints.
>lower weight
probably explained by being shorter

>>16889261
Heaviest 850 is heavier than the heaviest S70 tho

>>16889633
This
cucks shit talking the S70 and making up "reasons" why it's "inferior" to the 850 are just box fangirls
If you were comparing it to the 900 series you'd have a point.

>a nedcar thread
>on MY /o/

I got one of these as my first car, loved the shit out of it. It was in the shop almost every month for one bullshit thing or another, this was back before I learned to turn a wrench. Radiator cracked while I was driving it home after I bought it.

It always kind of seemed to me like it was supposed to compete with the BMW and Audi of the same years, but never got enough attention. Comfy interior, would recommend to anyone.
