What Volvo Can Replace by Solid 1991 240 Wagon? 200

I have a 1991 240 wagon with 140K miles and it's getting time to think about another Volvo. Actutually, I have been holding out for years but presure from my wife and kids is building. I love the engineering in the 240 and the ease to do basic things. It's been a very reliable car. I was hoping to keep it two more years and then give to what will be my 16 year old daughter. She claims it will never get used (perhaps after some serious walking).

Anyway, my dilema is that the newer Volvo's don't seem to get the high reliability from Consumer Reports etc as the old 240s. I was thinking about a 850, S70 or a newer S60 with a stick shift. Am I going to be disappointed with any of these cars in terms of reliability or ease to work on. My non Volvo choice is a Nissan Maxima with a stick shift. Shame on me, I know.

Appreciate to hear from others who have been in my shoes.

Thanks
Greg
