Both are big FWD sedan

Volvo engine is 20V compared to 16V on the honda
850 has won many BTCC titles and Accord has won many J Cup series.
Honda has double wishbone setup and..numerous upgrade for the engine
Once you drive a Volvo...you'll never look back....

Sadly, 850 only have tiny upgrades option in malaysia, so if you're upgrade freak..stick to accord SV4...and later upgrade to CD6 specs
