What is the definitive 'fast' Volvo wagon?

Whenever the question arises about what fast estate, Volvo's come up regularly.

What is the bees-knees in the Volvo world if you've got 5k to spend?

Hmm. Now you see why I'm confused!

AWD = Bork-omatic !

850R Classic fast Volvos look the coolest IMO.

You're all wrong. Definitive Volvos are RWD.

740 Turbo Intercooler

I agree, I recently bought one after actively seeking an 850 T5 - the classic BTCC shape.

Very easy to tweak, reliable, comfortable, solid - in short, they are great cars.

They sound good too - although I may add another silencer (This is a video the previous owner made).

One of these, shirley? Or the later V70 too.



Going like a bd in lane 3 after 3 hoodies in a stolen BMW....
