Sitting in the driver‘s seat, one immediately notices the "cockpit like" feel of the interior. Large round gauges with white numerals on black backgrounds are well locatâ€" ed and easy to read. All switches and controls fall easily to hand. One simple lever allows the tilt and telescope steering wheel to be positioned exactly where the driver wants it. The control for the power seat is easy to use and needs to be set only once. After that, your driving position may be entered into one of the seat‘s three memories. When you open the door to enter the 850, you will notice that the door skin is a oneâ€"piece stamping. It is smooth, solid, and very well finâ€" ished. Sliding into the driver‘s posiâ€" tion, you are greeted by one of Volvo‘s famous, orthopedically designed and power operated, front bucket seats. Turning the key quickly brings the 5â€"cylinder, 20â€"valve, Volvo built engine to life. Its idle is smooth with very low levels of noise and vibraâ€" tion. From an engineering standâ€" point, the inline 5â€"cylinder design has much more in common with a 6â€" cylinder than it does with a four, contributing to its smooth operation. Volvo engineers have mounted their new engine on hydraulic engine mounts in a separate subâ€"frame to minimize the transmission of vibraâ€" tion into the passenger compartment. The 850 is definitely a very difâ€" ferent kind of Volvo. Yet, its appearâ€" ance masks some of its radical nature. As you walk towards it, there is no mistaking the fact that the 850 is a Volvo. But, it is noticeably smaller, sleeker, and more aggresâ€" sive. The characteristic Volvo grille is somewhat reduced in size and neatly integrated into the forward sweep of the hood. The bumpers are body colored and flow into the overâ€" all body design. Its expansive glass area allows excellent visibility and keeps the car‘s appearance light and The wheels and tires are mounted very close to the surface of the body adding to its taut appearance. Even the wheels for the 850 are new. Cast of aluminum alloy with a sixâ€"spoke design, they compliment the other sporty elements of the 850‘s styling. Even the rear suspension of the 850 is a patented Volvo design unlike anything else found in cars today. Its semiâ€"Independent design combines excellent ride characterisâ€" tics with outstanding road holding and performance. The 850 is not simply a new Volvo, it is an entirely new kind of Volvo. It is new from bumper to bumper. And, it is also about eight inches shorter between those bumpers than its stable mate, the Volvo 960. It is frontâ€"wheelâ€"drive and its responsive 168 horsepower, Sâ€"cylinder engine is mounted transâ€" versely. The transverse mounting provides optimal weight distribution, safety, and plenty of interior space. In order to accomplish this, Volvo engineers were forced to design both an ultra short automatic and manual transmission. They rose to the chalâ€" lenge, producing a pair of innovative new designs. urveys show that when you ask the typical driver what words he associates with the name Volvo, they are safety, durabilâ€" ity, and longevity. In the notâ€"tooâ€"disâ€" tant future, this vocabulary will be expanded. The introduction of the Volvo 850 is likely to evoke words like sporty, agile, exciting and even fun to drive!

For all of those people who believed that Volvos were dull and boring, a short ride in this car will remove those preconceived notions forever. One has to ask; however, what did Volvo give up to achieve this level of sportiness? Has the company traded away safety, duraâ€" bility, reliability? The answer can be summed up in one word, no! The 850 is without a doubt the most advanced safety vehicle Volvo has ever produced. In addition to energy absorbing structures in the front and rear, the unit body of the 850 was designed from its inception to include Volvo‘s Side Impact Protection System. The ride quality of the 850 has a notably European flavor. It is firm but not jarring and allows the driver to have a good feel for what is hapâ€" pening on the road. A fifteen minute drive in an 850 will convince anyone that this is a truly new Volvo. Approaching a corner in the 850 is a joy. This is a car that wants to be driven. A light touch on the brake pedal quickly and effectively adjusts your speed thanks to fourâ€"wheel power assisted disc brakes with ABS. The power assisted rack and pinion steering provides precise road feel and keeps the steering effort under control. As you start to corner the 850, its unique deltaâ€"link rear suspension system comes into play. The delta link system includes a pair of deformable, elastomeric linkages which allow the rear axle to shift in response to the cornering forces. This movement of the rear axle makes the car very willing to turn. Its effect is highest at the beginning of a turn and diminishes as the turn continues. It is not a complex fourâ€" wheel steering system, but rather a mechanically elegant design which simply and effectively gets the job done. gear, and you are ready to go. It‘s at this point, when the 850 starts to move, that you know for sure you are in a very different kind of Volvo! It‘s acceleration is brisk and it pulls strongly through all of the gears. This is due in part to Volvo‘s variâ€" able inlet system which utilizes a dual path intake manifold to keep the engine‘s torque output relatively constant throughout an extremely wide range of engine speeds.
