FWDs are not that hard to DIY, besides, the timing belt is every 70K miles and the water pump should easily last till 180K+ miles. The headliner doesn't fall down, the climate control works pretty good, there is a lot of bhp in the light turbo version, the turbo usually lasts as long as the block, and they have side airbags for the front seats.

I prefer the V70 because the window controls are in the door instead of on the center console.

Don't buy from a dealer if you can help it. You want service records which he will not have.

The 850 wagons have a problem of fading rear turn signals if parked in the sun a lot, the V70 doesn't seem to have that problem.

There is a 2004 C70 rag top for sale in Orlando for $7K!!! Might be more fun than a station wagon!!! :)
