I will only buy manuals.
MY10 xc70 2wd D5 2.4 6 speed manual box and seriously once moving hardly ever need the lower 3 gears even when towing. Change the gearbox oil every 40k to keep it fresh. Currently on 76k . Previous tdi V70 5 speed manual on 225k, again I changed oil every 40k when in my ownership but had 105k on it when I baught it. Neighbour whom baught it off me says it's still fine with no undue noises and smooth as silk.
Paul.
