The 5 speed trannies through 2003 are a problem. One of the real problems with the auto trannies is the failure to flush the fluid at the 100K mark, corporate policy was to not flush.

The 96-99 cars with the 4 speed auto were fairly reliable, so long as a teenager didn't beat it up.

Ignore 2001-2002 Volvos of any model. Any Volvo with a T6, ignore as the twin turbos cooked the wiring in the engine compartment.

Don't be afraid of the light pressure turbos in Volvos, they are not problematic. And give a better ride with decent MPG, 28 highway and 23 around town.

The Ford Taurus also has tranny problems.
