Are 2001 V70's reliable? V70-XC70 2001

I'm currently in the market for a newer wagon. I haven't owned a Volvo for 4 years but I have previously owned 240's in the past with good success. I like the look of the newer style V70's and notice they don't hold their value very well which is great for me since I'm buying!

My questions are-
My brother had a 1998 V70 (old body style) and had horrible luck with the electrical system. Are the 2001's any better?

I know the 2001's are the first year of this body style, should I stay away?

Anything to lookout for on this model? Weak links?

Is the legroom better on the 01's and up and the 1998 V70 was pretty tight for me as I'm 6'2".

Thanks for any help and input,
Andy
