I must say that earlier model years had a lot of problems. From Phase II (2000) the quality is up alot. The -03 is near the quality of Volvos swe-built cars as s60. Of course it depends of the choice of engine/transmission, the smaller are mostly mitsu/renault, larger ones Volvos own-developed. I would say the quality is better than VW and ALOT better than most american-produced cars.

Good luck with your new car!
