Unless you really need awd (as in you drive off-road for a living) get the fwd. It is worth the search. We originally bought an XC70 and found that it used much more gas than the fwd, handled poorly and just wasn't worth the extra $s. The t5 fwd is the way to go if you buy a volvo wagon. We live up north and find that you are better off buying a set of good snows instead of awd. Another good choice would be the 2.4T fwd or the newer 2.5 fwd. Try to stick with the P2 models, the newest volvos (2008? and beyond) are gas guzzlers. We average 25 mpg (50/50 highway city) with the T5. Hope this helps.
