Cup holders are usually integrated into the armrest

I own this same car in a '96 model year completely stock NA with a 5spd Manual. Paint is peeling off the roof and hood. It's my daily driver with 388,900 miles as of this writing. It's more reliable than most of the new cars I know of. My engine is much cleaner than the one in the video. It goes to red line quite nicely. The only option was heated seats - driver no longer works. I still get 32 MPG at 60mph. With a set of new tires it's like a tank in snow.

32 mpg? That sounds damn good for one of those. My car can get 25 at best 😂 but it's also a big V6. Now I want one of these

Have you checked the cable under the seat? If the clamps are worn out or have been pulled on with too much force, the cable simply slips out of it's recipient in the thermostat, which is just shoved into the seat. (If the actual heating mat is intact.) But be careful if you have the SIPS side airbags, they must be secured via the red safety clamp provided under the cover attached to the seat itself.❤

How many miles does it have now?

The 859 actually does have a cup holder, it slides out from the center console

If Volvo were to return to this body/power train style it would sell, sell, sell. In the meantime, my 850 Turbo wagon becoming a rare sight on the road. Great review, but you missed quite a few pieces of equipment.

Funny that you call it the Lamborghini station wagon, volvo actually had an ad for the previous wagons (740/940) that had a picture of a Ferrari with a trailer and simply said "yeah, it's kinda like that"

Volvo also had a 740 Turbo ad featuring a black Countach! ;)

That switch is a rear fog light… lights up driver tail real bright to alert other drivers….. I have 2 850r . You gotta drive one man.. great video

Lucky man! I hope i can upgrade to an R in the future

I have been asked in the petrol station after the guy followed me through a tunnel, “that sounds like a lambo and goes like £**k, have you converted it”? I just laughed at him and said no. 96’ 850R manual estate

Someone once told me in reddit that an inline 5 is the closest engine to a V10. I guess that's why it sounds like the huracan with the muffler deleted. :)

Baby V10 is the official nickname

850 GLT wagon ,to this day has been my favorite car. It had a lot more lux. Heated seats & drive style selection. Wet weather sport & economy mode. 5 cylinder turbo was a beast on the highway.

I had an 850 and loved the sound I put 200k miles on it and towed my caravan with it was a 10 valve and was always told the 10 valve was better for towing I loved that car on two occasions the ABS saved me from certain doom

One of my favorite car brands, except I happen to own the 940 turbo wagon. I’m not surprised because those cars are quick.

Love the way it sounds

It does have cup holders on that one on the arm rest. You can see them in one of the shots

Well I don't have a R, but I do have the next best thing, a '98 V70 T5 5-speed.

I bought my 95 year 850 Estate 2.5 20 vaule engine. I ran the car for 25 years. It was a sweat ride 25 years on. The dealer told me that Volvo spent time/money on the exhaust sound

10:47 That's some movie quality product placement.😂😅

It probably sounds like a V10 because 2 In-Line 5 Cylinders make a V10.

The tootsie roll truck driving by in the background 👀

5 cylinder engines do tend to sound like v10s.

This must be Canada spec or something. The US had very few 5 speed 850s and there were no non-turbo 1997 US 850s.

Great review. Wanting one in automatic, just hoping the gas mileage isn't too bad.

Naturally Aspirated models can push 30 mpg, the turbo models aren't so good on gas

The only alu part of an 850 is the engine. You really should try a well maintained turbo. Keep it up!

Yes, the rust proofing is outstanding because it's galvanized and that Volvo had learned from the 70s and early 80s when salty swedish roads ate 240s like they were made of wafers.

I also have an 850 however, mine has heated seats front and rear, and a trip computer for temperature and miles per gallon and stuff and a power sunroof. But it has no power adjustable seats and surprisingly no central lock button, i had no idea that was even a thing for the 850

In mine its just the lock on the drivers side that locks them all, and from the outside all the keyholes act as a central lock.

Love the vid 😍 i have 94 one with manual rear windows, other than that it's same

there is no aluminium, it's good steel, same like the exhaust...our is 28 years old and original, never made it new...bottle holders are in the armrest and smal ones in the glovebox...its a really cool car

Just to add, the cup holder is in the arm rest
