Hey all,
This is my first break into the XC forum so please bear with me!! I'm writing this on behalf of my 'rents: Two weeks ago my mom feel asleep at the wheel and slammed into a tree totaling our '92 245. She walked away from the crash with just a few bruises and was more worried about crashing the car than herself. Needless to say Volvo for life, and they are now looking at either an 850 or used XC!! I made a post in the 850 forum regarding which years are best and any issues to watch out for and check (thanks all for replying!!!), so I guess that is my question here: Any serious flaws in electrics, hardware, design, etc. to look for in the XC70? I know '98 was the first year, and I think that is what they are currently considering if they go the XC route...I'll check the archives too but any insight is appreciated!!!

Best regards and many thanks in advance,
-Adam
