Hey there,
The engine on the V70 has an aluminum block that is sleeved, as opposed to the cast iron block on the 850. I drove a 245 for about 13 years till it died a slow death, an '80 244 sedan before that. Being a volvo freak, bought a '98 V70 (non-turbo,) loved the car. My mechanic is a non-turbo advocate. Sold it 2 years later for '01 V70 T5, manual trans LOVE the car. (it was as IPD project car with all the bells and whistles.) guess if you live in an area where the 4x comes in handy, I'd go for it, no experience with the XC90.
Good luck, Cheers,
-Anie
