Default Which one?

Hi all, this is sort of a strange question, but i was wanting some feedback.

I just recently purchased an 850 t5 wagon in good condition, and my wife owns a 940 wagon also in good condition. I got another wagon because I was using hers to carry all my equipment for work. I'm not a big fan of fwd but i like the performance of the 850, while my wife likes it because its newer, and has alot of nice features. We have talked about it and she is willing to trade cars with me. Both cars are in about the same condition, the 940 has less mileage but the 850 has been better taken care of. Id like to take the 940 and do some simple mods to it, but i 850 is pretty cool.

So basically which would You choose if You were in my situation?

I'm a big fan of the 850 line; best car volvo built IMO, so I'm probably biased?

I like the 940 due to its size and the rear wheel drive.

MY wife, however, wouldn't drive one if you paid her.

Only an 850/V70 for my wife

Give your wife the one she wants.

The 940 is really a better car and is a little larger. If the 850 is turbo, it will be more fun to drive.
