It was before I owned my 850, and if I had had the money I'd have bought a 9-5. Needless to say, I've very happy I didn't have the money!
Never thought I'd say I was happy to not have had $30k.

Re: Worst cars you've owned
I drove a rental '99 or 2000 9-5 from Denver to Seattle in summer 1999 and loved it. Got it well over 100mph in Montana. Gotta love the Western states.

2002 GMC Yukon, I loved it but at approximately 42k miles "6K out of warranty" the Transmission blew "literally" while doing 75 mph. I fought GM for a month to get them to fix it due to the fact that it was a known issue with this transmission. They fixed it for $500 after originally telling me it was going to cost $3500.00. Three weeks later the catalytic converter went, it was fixed under warranty. A week later the computer went. I then drove it to an Acura dealership, with the computer putting the truck in limp mode, and traded it in for an MDX, which I still own and haven't had a single problem with!
2003 Audi A6 2.7T (twin turbos) - Both of the turbos went out within a week of each other and I changed my oil religiously every 3000 miles with synthetic oil. Of course the car was one thousand miles out of warranty and Audi gave me the finger on covering any of the costs associated with the repair. Not to mention that due to the engine design, the engine needed to be pulled in order to get to the turbos. The final bill was just shy of $4K. Needless to say, the car had a For Sale sign in it the next week.
Once the Audi was sold (good luck to the buyer), I bought a 2004 Volvo S80 2.5T that now has 102K miles on it and I have had no issues at all with the car (including the turbo).
