I was hoping my 2005 V70 2.5T would have at least a few MPG improvement over my 1995 850T, when I purchased it as an upgrade.

Frustratingly, it actually gets worse mileage. I'm with Klaus - you may want to keep the '95 and enjoy the older, more substantial seats.

I sold my '95 with about 188K. I have to admit, I too was worried about higher maintenance bills at the time. But the fact is, that motor was in great shape and the car still ran very well. The tranny was a bit clunky...
