I hit a Mazada 626 (driving at night without light) in my 1986 900. I was on a side road, turning on the main road, looked left and right and saw nothing, no nightvision or side looking radar on the '86 900s. I pulled out and hit the 626 in the side. All the glass broke out, the unibody was bent and the seats broke off the mounts in the Mazada. I needed a new front bumper . . . I sold the 1986 3 years ago. I currently own a 245 Turbo, 1990 900S and a 1993 900 SPG :-) The classic Volvo 245 is also built like a tank!
