I've owned a Honda for the last 20 years and am seriously considering buying my first Volvo. Like the XC60. How do the repair costs/maint costs compare to Honda? Parts expensive?

Not from direct experience. The Volvo isn't a Honda. It will cost more to repair. Maintenance costs should be close. The Volvo will be a more satisfying ride I think. I recently went to Volvo after 30 years of Mazda. I only drive older cars, say from 8 to 20 years old and my 13 year old Volvo is no more expensive to fix than my old Mazda (929). On the plus side, the Volvo has been much easier to work on. Probably not so true for a new XC60 but maybe.
