What's the right volvo for me?
Hey everyone!!
So my first car was an '88 760 turbo wagon. it still runs, incredibly tough. a few years later I got a '94 850 T5 turbo and loved it! Had to let it go because I was moving to a rural area and it's lack of ground clearance was not good for the rough roads I was driving on (I had cracked it's radiator on a big bump once already at that point).
So now I'm looking for another used Volvo. I want turbo, good mileage, better ground clearance than the 850s, very safe, and a tough, low-maintenance engine.
I was thinking a used XC90 6 cyl twin turbo. I've read that some XC90s don't make very good power, and don't get great mileage either. I loved my 850 but need something further off the ground. How do V70s, XC90s and XC70s measure up to what I want out of a Volvo??
Thanks!!!
