Hi All,

Considering purchasing a 2007 or 2008 XC90, and was wondering what the conventional wisdom is concerning which engine is preferred. I'm interested in anecdotal advice regarding reliablility, ease of maintenance (is the alternator really under the intake manifold on the I6?), anything else worth talking about.

Maintenance-wise, just looking for how easy it is to do the routine stuff: plugs, hoses, belts, thermostat, engine torque bushings (which Volvos seem to eat!), etc.

Thanks in advance!
