Is the 850 that much better than me7

[shepbomb]

Evening all,
looks like I am picking up a 850t5 next sunday, is the none ME7 really that much better than the ME7, I know t5pete swears blind by them

[p fandango]

its down to personal opinion. I prefer non-ME7 because you can control more of the seperate systems yourself, with ME7 every mod has to be re-written into the ecu or it starts crying

the acceleration is alot smoother/more refined (ie boring)

[Kingsford G]

U won`t have me7 850 anyway.Mine is none me7 for reason and u can play wiv it alot as mentioned above=less headache and money cost.What colour is it?

[shepbomb]

It's the grey one advertised on here

I like grey,especially wiv dark wheels.Hope its a good one.

[shepbomb]

[Kingsford G]

Ive had both and would say non me7,i got board of my c70 very quickly lol.

[Wobbly Dave]

I have been trying to get ME7 to go quickly for sometime. I think I am doing OK.

[shepbomb]

I love my C70, but definetly need to be more practical, two kids dont seem to like fitting in the back

[JUDGENINJA]

I have a pre ME7 V70... :p

lol i hated the misses c70 with the electric seats it took ages to get any one in and out of the back of the car and when it was raining there was always choice words

[Wally Dog]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what's the difference between Pre and ME7? does this have anything to do with where the computer plug in socket is - on my 855 it's next to the cigarette lighter but on my scrapper, it's in a different place?

[shepbomb]

ME7 Is Fly By Wire, used from 99 onwards I think

Yes but that has nothing to do with the ME7 - you can still get manual throttle C70's, I would agree however as a 4 seater it is proper size but not something I would want to put people in the back on a regular basis. Kids might not be so bad?

ME7 is a bit more than just the electronic throttle. You don't have a distributor & there is VVT on the exhaust cam.

Wobbly its the nightmare of having to get the carseat in and out for my youngest, and to be honest if it was upto me I would be keeping it but the mrs has put her foot down

C70 does not have ISO fix - so its seatbelt based only & that has to be a pain in the bum.

Not really, we used an isofix type base that was fastened in using the seatbelt..

it's called surefix it's the one i use for my little one, the seat just clips into it and locks on

[Wobbly Dave]

Isofix uses a system of rails bolted to the car - that the base fixes to. Seatbelts are not required.
