When you're spending $34,335 for a vehicle, you're clearly in a position to ask for something special. You say you want sports-car performance and a land-yacht ride, combined with the roominess of a wagon? With the Volvo 850 Sportswagon, you just might get it all.What we found most striking about the 850 Sportswagon-remember, this is a station wagon, after all-was its 7-second 0 to 60-mph acceleration, which left many sedans and coupes choking on its dust.
Obviously, most wagon buyers aren't looking to light up their tires on the way to the kids' hockey practice. But for dads and moms whose unruly broods haven't dampened their yearning for power in the pedal, the 850 Sportswagon may be just the ticket.
