hi...newbie here...just added a new member to my family and thinking of getting a bigger car...thinking of getting a used 02-05 v70...what should i look for?...reliabity issues?...i know newer cars rely more on complicated computers, are these v70's complicated to maintain?...should i be wary of getting a turbo?...i am used to driving european cars, i also own a 92 525 bmw, i just love how european cars perform...thanks.

really?...i guess this is not a site of proud volvo owners...seems more like a site for owners who needs infos. on how to fix their volvos, lol...makes me lean towards bimmers again...it's a pity, i have grown up believing volvos are the perfect family cars, guess i was wrong...thanks anyway for the little info.

Reliability of the Volvo will generally fall in line w/ that of the Bimmer. It's just cheaper to fix when it breaks.
