Most reliable FWD Volvo

I think you'll find the consensus on this board will lean toward the '97 850. I'm happy with the 98 S70, essentially the same car. The S/V/C 70's sport a rounded (some say more muscular) front end style; plus there are some interior differences along with the usual engineering enhancements or experiments (like the changeover to H7 headlights, which caused a quite a few problems leading to a recall).

97 850 reliability is considered good, and I (personally) like the 850 interior better.
