2010 9-3 2.0T with XWD... what's the verdict on reliability?

Hi all--
Former 2007 9-3 owner, switched over to a 9-5 a few years back, but I'm starting to look at AWD cars and wondering if there's any verdict on the XWD reliability with the 2.0T engine? I saw something about how this was maybe less problematic than the eLSD in previous models, but that one should look for documented fluid changes in the rear ever 30k or be expecting to replace the differential for $$$$$$. Is that the only major issue to look for?
Also, what's the latest knowledge on the 2.0T valve issue? Still an issue in 2010?
I found a good looking 2010 sport sedan with 66k for under $10k and it sure looks appealing compared to some of the other options out there. Just don't want to "step in it" for lack of awareness!
TIA
