Avoid the '99-'00 at all costs. Lots of problems wit the ETS module, common failure and even though it has been replaced they tend to fail again and is a dealer only service because of computer download, to the tune of $1200.

Also avoid the AWD if possible, because of the common bevel gear failure, again expensive repair. FWD car with good snow tires would do.

Your best bet a '97 or '98 V70 FWD, since these still have the mechanical throttle with cable, compared to the electronic on the fly throttle of '99 and newer.

If you're looking for a newer car, then 2001 and newer are less problematic.
