My father has a '99 V70 T5 manual transmission (from Canada you can't get a manual in the turbo until recently stateside). I guess it's a tossup. I haven't heard anything about the Volvos sludging like the 2.3L in the 9-5,but the turbos puke oil all over the firewall when they go (often) and the top engine support fail frequently (get IPD's poly mount). I haven't driven his, but I was less than enthusiastic about them when they were 850's, I prefer RWD Volvos. The 9-5 in my opinion will handle better and I believe they get better gas mileage. That said, not uncommon for Volvos to go over 200k, how many Saabs have you seen that high? Still have a soft spot for the Volvo, but I think the 9-5 is a better car. My fathers burns oil as well at freeway speed, my 130k 9-3 SE does not.
