Hi all,

I'm having trouble finding specs I can use for comparison between
different models of Volvo wagons. I'm looking to make the move to a
wagon before the middle of January and, although the 850 seems like a
very nice car, I am not sure how it stacks up compared to, say, a 940
in terms of things like turning radius (because of FWD) and cargo
space. The sort of info you find in the last few pages of the owners
manuals rather than opinions. (BTW have you seen how many Volvo
entries there are on epinions.com?)

I've also noticed that a very frequent complaint with the 240 wagon is
the failure of wires in the tailgate, has this been addressed in other
models?

Of course, if anyone has dire warnings about the risks of any
particular year or model (eg. I read that 1994 960s needed timing
belts replaced every 30K due to a design error) feel free to weigh in.

Thanks,
