'94 850 5 speed with about 305,000 miles. 27-30 mpg and it is driven hard. It sometimes goes about 2-3 quarts low on oil because of the rms leak and never complains :shock: Hopefully should be getting that fixed soon.

96 850 Turbo wagon, the automatic transmission died last week at 160K miles (about 270km) and it isn't worth fixing. (see the classifieds) I'm disappointed in the reliability, the car had turned into a money pit.
