I'm going look at this from a different angle. The 5 cylinder (as in the 850/S60/S70/V70) has proven to be a bulletproof engine with some folks at 400K+. It is basically the same engine as yours with a cylinder lopped off. I see no reason why the 6 cylinders can't last as long.

Let me add that the tranny should be flushed every 25-50k and keep up with those timing belt changes...:)
