"I would also want 3rd row of seats, integrated booster seats, and either the premium package, or just leather seats and a moonroof."

You obviously have children, therefore get an Odyssey. The third row seat in a V70 won't work. The Honda gets great gas milage, you can get TV for the kids which is a Godsend on trips. It is reliable and with 240 hp, it is fast enough.

The StLouis Volvo dealers reputation is very good, had my 245 serviced there and was very pleased. Stay away from Chicago. There should be a Honda dealership in Springfield. If you change your own oil and service the brakes on the Honda you will like the minivan. Besides, you should get around 27mpg on the highway.

Do your kids and wife a favor and get them the car they need.
