Default Thinking about becoming a Volvo owner

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and we're thinking of buying a Volvo, a 1997 850R wagon to be exact. My husband and I are former V-Dub owners/lovers/haters and currently we have a '98 Dodge Caravan that we'd like to ditch. It's a tool chest on wheels, meaning it sounds like a tool chest rattling around when you drive it

I'm used to my European seats and handling, but I thought I would have to give it up since we have two small kids now. I found the 850R on our local Craigslist and now I'm coming here to find out more about them. I've read the reviews on KBB and they got a 4 out of 5 from about 200 reviews, so that's a positive.

Now, I'm off to post a pros/cons thread in the 850 section, wish me luck

Thanks!

I own an 850 turbo. It rocks. Just downright awesome little car.
