I had a V70 (though not the T5) before I bought my Saab 9-5 wagon. I switched because: (1) the Volvo required premium gas, (2) it is only available with automatic transmission, and I wanted manual, (3) Volvo says the only chains possible are the $350 Spikes Syders (4) the headrests on the highback seats are not adjustable, and the seats are therefore not comfortable for small people like me (the Saab seats are the best I've ever experienced). The Volvo had 4 or 5 recalls and several warranty repairs (electirc windows, headlight washer motor) while in my possession. The Saab has thus far been totally trouble free. The Volvo did handle beautifully on a mountain highway---truly a pleasure to drive. I haven't yet had a chance to compare my Saab's handling---no dry pavement available! I've owned 5 Volvos and 4 Saabs, but I was a little disappointed in the V70. fortunately their high resale value means I didn't lose much when I sold it to get the Saab.
