I don't know about the 850, but I've got a 740 that fits like a glove, and just bought the wife an 89 900T. I always loved the seating, armrests, etc, in mine, and I found the Saab lacking in the comfort I find in mine. It's very nice inside, handles well, a great car, but I prefer mine. My wife has always found mine to be uncomfortable, however, and she's found the perfect car for herself in this one. She sits much closer to the wheel, being shorter, and I think it's something about the angle of the wheel. My point, I guess, is that it's probably very subjective based on a number of things. AS LONG AS IT'S SWEDISH {:o) Anyone else here eating too many of those Swedish Fish jelly candies like me? I'm really getting addicted to 'em.
