Hi, I have 2 questions. What is the difference between two 95 850 turbo wagons when one is designated as an 850 Turbo and the other is labeled a Sportswagon? Anything to do with the suspension setup?

Also, I'm looking at a 95 850 Turbo Sportswagon with all the options I need except Traction Control. Living in New England, do you think that would be a problem in the winter? (They salt these roads heavily.)

Thanks for your help.

 

There was no "sportwagon" option in 1995. Somebody found an emblem they liked and put it on the car. As far as traction control, I don't think it is a necessity. I visit inlaws in NH and have not had a problem the road conditions are good. Common sense will serve you better than traction control.
