I have a 1988 Volvo 240 DL, that I love. I wish I could buy a new version of the same car only with cupholders. LOL In thinking about something that I would like for the future, I have come to like the look of the s60 R models with AWD, but I'm wondering how I would like the car mechanically compared to my beloved 240. Would I be able to do any of my own maintance to the car? Is the AWD a maintace headace? How about safty? It seems like manual gear boxes are few and far between, how are they doing in these newer cars? How about the tiptronic. Has anyone got at least to 200k on these newer model volvo's? (atleast AWD)? If so, has any major componets been replaced? Is AWD a Good solution for someone who would very much miss his rear wheel drive car. I drove a Camry once and really did not like the feal of it.

Thank you very much and Happy Bricking.
