Hello,

I'm new to this list but not a new Volvo owner (we've had a 240 wagon for a few years). We are looking at buying a 940 or 960 or V90 because we want the largest possible Volvo wagon. My questions are these, and I'd be glad to hear especially from current 960/940/V90 owners: Is the body style (however it is referred to ) larger than the 850, V70, Cross Country, etc.? (I'm especially concerned with the width of the back seat (for multiple kid carseats) and the back area.) Are there particular models, years, or features to be avoided among this class?

Thanks for your help.
