Happiest day of my life was when I sold the '97 850 T5. I have owned over 20 vehicles in the last 27 years and the 850 needed more work, more often than any other car I have owned. It was a good-looking car and was super fast, but I'll never buy another FWD Volvo.

We also have a family and replaced it with a 10-year-old Chrysler Town and Country. We now have more room, more comfort, and still get 20+ MPG. I can work on the Chrysler, they built a jillion of them and parts are highly interchangeable. Like alschnertz said, minivans are not the most stylish thing on the road, but if you need to get four or five people down the road with all their stuff, in comfort, safety, and reasonable economy, there really is no better alternative.
