I bought a basic stripped V70 manual in 2001. The car is far more comfortable and powerful than the 245 that it replaced, and so far, has not required a lot of expensive maintenance. Nearly 85K miles. Brakes, suspension, and most engine component replacement can be done by a reasonably skilled owner. So far I have not had any of the dreaded VADIS troubles, but my model has manual climate control, and the absolute minimum in optional luxury garbage.

The Honda makes the most sense, but if it was me I still wouldn't do it.
