I currently own a 1999 V70 AWD which my wife drives and I really enjoy driving when I get a chance (its tough loosening her grip on this vehicle since she sold her Chevy Tahoe for this vehicle).

I have a couple of potential buyers for my Suburban, and I am considering two vehicles - the ones titled in this post. The V70 T5 has 72k miles, and the 960 has 70k miles. Both seem in excellent condition, but I am torn between the satisfaction in performance on the T5, versus any potential reliability on either car.

I am looking to the "professionals" in this forum - owners of either vehicle in this timeframe - to get their opinions on either car and which may be the better vehicle for me. The Suburban has outlived its useful life, and instead of another one, I am looking to purchase another Volvo. Thank you to all in advance.

 

The best way to weigh in on issuse is to read post on this site. You will see that the V70 has way more post than the 960's. Mainly due to the fact that front wheel drive cars simply have more maintenance due to front end weight and there are more of them on the road.

I would do the V70 T5. Just a funner car to drive.
