Hello Folks, I am glad to be part of the site, it looks realy great, and i got some great info already!
I am comming frm Barrie Ontario, north of Toronto. I drove a 92 960 back in highschool, it was bought in '99 with about 300,000km on it, my parents let me use it occasionaly, and i loved it. My mom still drives it and its up over 400k, km.
I bought a 2007 Jeep Wrangler (the 4 door when they first came out) for my fiance when we found out she was pregnant, long story short, had it for a year (it was brand new) and it was in the shop 14+ times in one year, at times for a month at a time. So i managed to get rid of it.
Now we have a house, and another kid on the way, and she prefers SUV's money is tight so we don't have many options. I am looking for something cheap (under $2000CAD) and stumbled upon a few 850's, i really like the idea of the turbo.
So we may be back into one shortly.
