The 90 suits my needs better but I actually preferred my old 70.

I keep having vague thoughts of replacing my 2004 XC70 with a 2016/17 V90. The XC70 is now on 175k (added 45k in the two years I’ve had it) and it’s had nothing but proper servicing with quality oils and filters, 4 litres of gearbox oil changed every 12k or so, Volvo discs, pads and shoes, handbrake cables, and I’m about to do the cam and aux belts and tensioners. I just can’t bring myself to sell it and get something newer. Even if I buy a cheap V90 for say £16k, the depreciation plus potential electrical/control system glitches makes me shudder.
