I have no experience with any Volvos newer than say the 240 series and am possibly looking for a new wagon. I prefer a manual, but there doesn't seem to be a lot to pick from, (though I probably will still hold out)
My question is if I do go with an auto tranny cars say a V70 or an AWD model:
A).What is there to look out for?
B). How reliable are they?

On the earlier cars IO can do a lot of my own wrenching, (i.e. it is easy to swap out a 140 trans with OD or do a clutch in my garage), but if I have problems with an AWD system I am not going to be able to work on it, (lack of time, space and talent)...so if the AWD's are prone to having issues I would rather stick with a FWD.
