to be honest it will depend on which thermostat is fitted, IIRC origionally they were 87 degrees & then changed to 90 degrees.... something like that anyway....

Our C70's gauge sits at halfway within about 5 mins of starting up.
Any higher check coolant levels as a first stop
Any lower/ slow to get there the thermostat need checking
Bouncing Top to Bottom the tempreture sensor is knackered - We had this on our S40 made very interesting driving

all coolant is fine
it never moves gets there about 5mins after warming up
sit horizontal on dash not halfway on gauge as there is more below horizontal than above if that makes sense
