I bought a petrol one as I reckoned at high mileages the Volvo petrol engines are better than the VAG diesels. They use more fuel obviously, but much simpler to fix and built like nothing else. I have driven the diesel and it drives very well, arguably better than the non-turbo petrols. But a Volvo engine is better than a VW/Audi one.
