XC70 longevity

Post by nzoliver »

Hi all, :D
I am looking at swapping my 99 Disco II for an 02 XC70. :lol:
I have read just about ALL the threads re these things on justa about ALL the sites. There are horror stories everywhere. What I want to know is how many people write about their disasters on websites like these vs the number of perfectly happy owners with no problem cars that never bother with looking for sires like these? I wonder what the ratio really is?

I look forward to any thoughts!! :idea:

An '02 XC70 will be much less trouble than a '99 Disco but if you can go for it, spring for an '03 or later model....just all around a better car- especially with the upgrade to the Haldex system over the bevel gear.
