Have never owned a Volvo personally, however, have been dreaming about selling my old 328i (BMW) & getting a wagon. I'm especially interested in the '06 - '07 (V70R with six speed transmisson) models. Can anyone tell me what they like and/or do not like about them? Are Volvos as safe & reliable as I hear? My folks had one growing up & it was great - not sure how they are running today. Kind of wish Ford was not involved or had bought them though I don't think they are actually building them...at least not yet.

 

The new R's are really sweet.
