Sorry to break the news here BUT IMHO, none of todays newer Volvos are doing better than your '98-'00 Volvos when I compare them to what I now call "the good ol' days" of Volvos (definately PRE-'98). Some problems with '98-'00 are gone sure BUT the newer cars have NEW problems, non are "trouble-free" if that's what you want. The best, most reliable and least troublefree era of Volvos was probably with their RWDs BEFORE the 960 but excluding fiascos like the older V6s and diesels (my opinion of coarse).

All of todays Volvos have become far more electrically complex than necessary for ANY car and thus prone to problems. The newer Volvos now get software related problems as well so unless you live close to a Volvo dealership and don't mind needing to visit them periodically, don't buy a newer Volvo.
