Re: V70 versus V40? V70-XC70 2002

If it must be a Volvo, the V70. I've driven both, for 30k in a small wagon, I'd get a 325iT instead of a V40. The V40, the 325iT, the Audi A4 and the IS300 wagon don't offer a lot of cargo room. If you need space, also look at the RX300, which is better or the Acura MDX which is A LOT better. My only reservation about those is that I can't stand to drive an automatic. .... also, look at the invoice prices, not the sticker. The invoice should more accurately reflect Volvo market prices.

I've also looked at the SAAB 9-5 wagon, in it's Viggen incarnation it's nice, but overpriced I think. So is the BMW 525, plus it's a slug with the 2.5.

So I'd pick the V70, but it's a default choice. If you come across another mid-size mid-price wagon with a manual transmission that has a decent amount of power, please let me know about it!
