If you buy a 2001+ V70 you're buying a S80 in wagon form, but without the 6-cyl engine. The 2001+ V70 and any year S80 share the same platform, although I think the V70 is a slightly shorter wheelbase.

I'd get the V70, for the utility if not the feeling I get that S80 dependibilty isn't its strong suit, especially the '99-00.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
