Hi Andrew,
I had a similar experience to yours. My(now) college junior daughter got the hots for the S70(1998 also) about a year and a half ago. I hemmed and hawwed about how she should stay with the rwd Volvo since i knew them so well and they were so much easier to work on. Long story short, she is driving the S70 now for 1 1/2 years. If you do the repairs and maintenance for her it can be a good car for her. There is a bit of a learning curve going from the rwd to fwd but it's not that bad. In my case, I liked her S70 so much that I sold my 242t project car and am in the process of selling my 745t because i bought a '96 850 turbo for me about 2 months ago.
