Is the '06 V70 'reliable'? V70-XC70

The link above is to a very informative site for Honda Odyssey. I have a 98 V70 and an 04 Ody. The Ody is very easy to work on, and the Helms manual ($75) is very detailed. The V70 is my drive-to-work car. The Ody is the family car and is great for a family of 5. The Ody handles well, accelerates great, but is noisy on the road. I'm told that a lot of the noise is due to the factory tires. The 05 and 06 are very quite. I will readily agree that the V70 seats are more comfortable than the Ody, but not $8k worth.

I like the V70, but purchased an Ody due to the numerous reliability issues we had with the V70. If it isn't reliable, it isn't safe!
