Although I have got a bit more power, also going through 2 wheels and with a bit less weight, so I'd expect mine to be quicker, but not by the amount that it was.

I had a 850 T5. £1800, m plate, 78K miles, saloon. auto. I loved it. It was fast, comfortable, all the toys, wasnt too bad on fuel. Bloody thing got nicked so obviously someone else agreed :-)
Would I have another one ? yes. Becareful what you buy though, some thrashed ones out there. Try :- http://www.volvot5.co.uk/ Saloons are cheaper than estates.
Dont worry about the flat cap, slippers remarks, the car really is an all round good performer, why do you think all the police forces used to have them ?
