Can`t comment on general issues to be aware of but our experience has been mostly positive. My wife went from a `95 855T(excellent car!!) to an `03 XC70. She has owned it for 7 years .......a daily commuter so it`s high mileage now, 350K?. Issues we`ve had: DIM: a Xemodex fix; front whl brg`s at approx 150K and in the past 8 months the tranny has begun to "slip". The tranny slip is very sporadic & she has been advised to just keep driving it until it "quits", the car, that is!
This has been an excellent vehicle overall.......motor runs strong, it`s very comfortable & for an 11 yr old car, still looks great!
YMMV
