Hi folks,

I'm looking for a near luxury wagon for my wife and kids, and volvo is near the top of the list along with the MB e320 and the audi wagons, subaru coming up in the rear because they are hard to find with luxury appointments.

When considering late model year v70/90 volvo wagons, which do you think are the best, and why? Should I shoot for a RWD late 90's v90? or go with a FWD v70? If I go with the v70, then do I go with the post 850 98-2000 version or the 2001 new generation? I have no need for the traction control or the mechanical complexity of the XC.

I want to spend less than 14k and all of my choices fit in there, even though the MB is a little stretch.

I live in atlanta, and we've got alot to choose from, making scarcity less of a factor in my decision.

Should I just bag the volvo and go for the gold on an e320 or get some japanese steel for the reliability factor? Audis kinda scare me, I know too many folks with VW electronic issues, but they sure are sporty.

Thanks for your thoughts.
