I am looking at 2002 V70s and V40s. A fully loaded V40 costs about $30k, while an entry-level V70 2.4T costs almost $35k. The safety equipment is about the same, but the V70, of course, weighs about 800 lbs. more, which is a plus for safety. The car will be used by my wife around town and will also be the family car for trips. We usually keep cars for about eight years, and because we have two cars, we put about 7,000 miles on each car per year here in southcentral Pennsylvania. I would be interested in hearing opinions/experiences about the V70 vs. V40. Thanks very much.
