One can open up a real can of worms with a question like that!
My two cents:
I own 2 '84's, a DL wagon and a turbo. I also have a '94 940 wagon. If I had a time machine and could pick up any of these cars new, it'd be the turbo. Mine has 278k miles on it and is basically fine except for the dreaded bushings. I like the flat decklid better than the curved ones on later models. The US composite headlights are positively awful on the later models. My 240's lights are much better than the 940. The B23F in my DL does not use any oil between 5k changes. Neither of my 240's have ever left me stranded; 940 w/ B230FD once left me walking with a computer problem. All the goodies one gets with the newer models are nice, but....
Personally, I don't care for airbags. It's my opinion that most brick drivers drive bricks at least partially due to safety reasons, both active and passive. If I'm going to tangle with a Ford Excavation in a smaller car, I'd rather it be a Volvo. Chances are, I'd not be hitting it, but the other way 'round, in a different area of the car than the front making airbags useless.
OK, maybe that was 3 cents worth, but think of what you actually paid for it....
