Recommended FWD wagon? 850

so after spending alot of time test driving many RWD 740's and 240's, I've realized that a newer FWD wagon would suit my needs better than a much older RWD brick, that would probably need alot in terms of maintenance, and repair/rebuilds/ and fuel

I've been looking at 850's and v70's/ both of which have a sketchy (at best) reliability rating from alot of consumers' ratings. I come from a family where all we ever drove were 145's and 245 wagons...so I'd really like to stay with the volvo name brand.

I currently have a 97 Escort that I share with my GF. It's a fantastic little car, but unfortunately, being small is one of it's major faults, as we are constantly travelling long distance, and in need of a better overall highway car.

Is there any year or model that you'd recommend that we upgrade to? I would prefer the Volvo name brand over BMW's and MB's, due to the added value and additional safety features.

Our only other option is a post 02 Focus wagon, but I'm really tired of all these small cars!!!

your opinions are greatly appreciated! as well as any other recommendations on other cars
