To buy used V70 orV70XC - that is the question.

My wife and I have been happy owners of a 96 850 wagon. Unfortunately the deer that we ran into last week ended our love relationship with the car. The car has been totalled and we need to replace as soon as possible. The debate is between a v70 and and XC70. We are familiar with the apparent differences as far as all wheel and front. And the right and height differences. But what we really want to know is the reliability differences, maintenance issues and or legacy issues with these two models. And what years to target or to avoid.

We've been looking at 01 and 02 V70's and XCs. I've started to see mention of drive-by-wire changes etc. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. This forum has been a huge help in the past. Thanks to all those who participate.
