Thank you very much for that detailed post. It is not that I don't want another 240. It is just that decent examples are rather rare where I live. I'd prefer a wagon for my second (older) one. And I did not want to limit my choices through my ignorance of other models. And I admit to complete ignora...

Thanks for that. And the cheaped-out 2011 xc70 is one of the reasons I will never buy a more modern volvo
