My experience.. V70, 9-5

We have a base 2001 9-5 sedan, and just last week I replaced my NG900 with a new V70R. As others have said, the 9-5 is much more nimble than the V70, the V70 seems like a huge tank in comparison. The 9-5 is much easier to park because its turning radius is much tighter. Having only owned the Volvo for a week, I can't comment on its reliability but our 9-5 really has been bulletproof so far (knock on wood).
Good luck. Drive them both, I think either one will be a good choice.
