Hi All, wanting to find a new (to us) V70, probably 2003 or later. It seems ads for XC-AWD vehicles are much more plentiful than FWD, would appreciate any thoughts on how much additional problems to expect from an AWD vehicle. I was wanting to avoid additional complications from AWD, but maybe I'm overstating the problem. I read somewhere here that a totally different rear drive system was used after about 2005 ... should that be a factor? Thanks for any suggestions!
