Avoid anecdotal evidence

Avoid anecdotal evidence that is often cited. Go to the Consumer Report and see which years have the least problems. Volvos, however, have always had their peculiar problems, and if you are aware of this, then you can go with any year. I have owned 240s, 965s, V90s, S70s, and XCs, and my experience tells me that Volvo makes more and more reliable cars, but again my experience means nothing. If perfect reliability is your goal, nonetheless, then stay way from European cars and go with Honda or Toyota.
