Does the 850 saloon have folding seats?
George 5 April 2005 05:06:44
	Does the 850 saloon have folding rear seats? Would I be able to fit a mountain bike in the boot of saloon, maybe with the seats down it would be ok?

No we usually say bumper to bumper. Never heard anybody say boot-to-bonnet. So what is the answer to my question, do the rear seats fold on a vovlo 850. Conflicting replies here. I cant imagine them not being folding on some models and folding on others.

"My '93 850 sedan/saloon had a rear seat that had a center section that folded down exposing port through which you could put skis or a movie screen through. There was no way you could put a bicycle in the trunk and the back seat. There was bicycle rack that fit in the trailer hitch. On 850 estates/station wagons, there are 60/40 rear seats that fold down flat. You can easily carry a bicycle in it. The other day I carried a 10' pipe inside my 850 wagon. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to rhodyman@earthlink.net Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman

Saloons (sedans) have fixed rear seating except for the "cubby-hole" as mentioned by Stephen. Cheers, Peter.

My (sold in Australia) '96 850 has fold down rear seats, roughly 40:60, and a "ski" hole behind the fold down arm-rest / child seat. For those who say their's don't fold down, check in the boot, it's possible to lock them so they can't be folded down, as a security measure for denying access to the boot, for example when you give the "service" key (for want of a better name) to someone else. Check the owners' manual. Regards Barry

A friend's 93 was the same way.

Sorry peter, you are wrong- all european 850's and S70's have folding rear seats, I could go out to the garage and fold them in two cars which are sat there! If they didnt fold- you'd have no way to remove the parcel / hat shelf to get at the speakers which are there! Don't forget there are two red "dis-arm" tabs in the boot/trunk which need to be flicked before the seat back release levers in the passenger compartment will actually unlock the seat. Tim..

I'm certain that I've seen a sedan model advertised with a choice of rear seat configurations: either 60/40 folding, OR non-folding but with a ski pass-through plus integral child seats. The big caveat is, I can't swear this was even a Volvo that I'm remembering, much less an 850 of a certain year and from a certain market. But basically, it is possible that both setups exist.

	Thanks for the helpfulness Tim. I would have thought that the parcel shelf was accessible from inside the boot as in 944s and previous models (240/260 and 740/760). My 944 has two large elliptical speakers fitted to the parcel shelf which have Volvo identification markings on them! Cheers, Peter.
