Volvos have personallity, Acuras do not. The V70 is the same car as the S70, except with a box in the back. The high pressure turbo is a lot more fun to drive, the awd really needs a HP turbo to get out of its own way. I love my R with awd in the winter. No hassles so far and the traction control is amazing, especially when I let my 17yr old drive it.
All Volvos require a lot of maintenance, then they can go 200K miles plus and not hurt the back of the driver. Just don't buy a 99 or 00, the first year of drive by wire.
