looking to possibly upgrade V70-XC70

I have a 98 V70 which has been a great car. 260k mi on it and only inconvenient repairs have been cam position sensor and MAF sensor.

But as the car ages I am contemplating upgrading to next gen. 2001-2004 vintage.

I have heard some things about these cars not being quite as good as the first gen V70 and 850. From possible transmission issues to general components not being as good as early gen cars.

Can anybody weigh in on whether there is some validity to those rumors?


Do the 2001-2004 cars have anything to look out for?
