At least with 3 Hondas and 1 Volvo, our cars are on average pretty darn reliable!

The "interference" motors on Volvos go back to the first 850s in 1993; pretty much all motors from all manufacturers are interference designs now. Most competent shops replace the hydraulic timing belt tensioner every second timing belt change on the 1994-1998 Volvos, and it's manatory to replace the mechanical tensioner with the 105,000 mile belt change on the later 1999 up Volvos. If the shop does it wrong, you buy a new engine!

The only Ford designs so far are the S40, V50, C70, and XC90

Good luck, buy a Toyota if it makes you happy, but a Toyota ain't no Volvo -- and that's both good and bad.
