Hi All,
Okay so my family currently has a Honda Accord which is nearing the end of it's life and we will soon be replacing it with another car. We commute a lot from the suburbs to the city and the miles seem to pile up rather quickly. My parents, especially my mother would prefer something roomy and reliable, a car that's easy to maintain which won't break our backs in terms of maintenance. Something which will last a long time. Neither of them want an SUV or a Minivan. We used to have a 1997 Toyota Avalon which was an absolute tank, we drove it upto 310,000 miles until we sold it. Our current Honda Acccord has done us well too.
Anyhow, we were thinking of getting a Volvo v70 Station Wagon from the years 2008-2010, would anyone know how reliable and durable these cars are? I know the Older Volvos, especially the 240s were absolute tanks, and I know after 1993 they had some problems in the late 90s and early 2000s. But what about from 2008 and up? Has their quality and reputation come back? Are the V70 wagons of those years still built like tanks to an extent? Please any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
