The quest for a new car for my wife has taken a new turn. A couple weeks ago I asked about the Saturn Vue (3.5 Honda engine and tranny, fwd), and it's still in the mix. Now the Volvo V70 2.4 (non-turbo) wagon is also being considered. It's about 3 grand more ('05 demonstator), but does include 3 yrs/36,000 mi. maintenence plus loaner for all service. The Volvo's definitely got the best seats, and that's a big plus for her. Space and efficiency is about equal. Performance, for her, is pretty unimportant. What concerns me is primarily reliability. Is that Volvo going to be visiting the service department every few months down the road? I have this gut feeling that the Saturn might be the wiser choice in the long run. Any opinions? Thanks.
