Are you talking stick shift or automatic tranny?
The automatic from 2001 in Volvo (02 Saab) is a little bit finicky in terms of shifting issues and it is important that the fluid is replaced on a regular basis.
Stick, I don't really know much about since we don't see them here in LA.
Do you have a good Volvo dealer nearby or an independent that is way on top of everything AND have the VIDA system in their shop?
If not, choose a Saab.
Volvo from 99 and up demands a top notch service facility with download capabilities to repair a slew of different things that can go bad and only the top shops have the interest in spending that kind of money.
So if you are living in s smaller town with mostly general repair shops, go with the Saab.
The ride in my eyes is fairly similar.
I wouldn't buy an AWD Volvo if not living out in the bush and really needing that. Too much extra money and more things that go bad.
