I truly adore my 9000 Aero - and I apologize that what I ask here is not directly Saab related.
My partner has been a diehard Subaru driver for many years - and when having a 1998 Outback was still a valid option that went very well...until it didn't after some years.
Since that time we have been forced over & over into progressively newer Subies, with her current car being a 2011 Outback.
It is a lovely car, but also chock full of added electronics and other krap that we've learned the hard way can add nastily to repair bills.
Unfortunately, with keeping a Subie here in Vermont if it doesn't rot into a flintstone mobile, it might gobble up head gaskets & associated parts, making for $1500+ repair bills just to keep it going.
Given that getting her a Saab is a no-go, I had a sideways thought that maybe a Volvo (or Volvord ??) would be a better choice, so I peeked over at CL & saw a great looking deal on a 2008 XC-70.
Just for yuks I also checked reviews & mostly that year & model were rated as having great features & reliability.
This is one of those situations which it is best to be prepared & informed for, so...
My query=>
I'd love to hear what anyone thinks of that car and/or what might be a better choice to replace a Subie wagon with when the time comes ??
Thanks for any helpful replies !!
