        The GC? I think that is by far the fugliest car they've ever produced. And it's flimsy.

          I'd rock a V70 T5 w/ 5spd. Not a fan of the XCs.

                Yeah V70R's are cool; but I believe the awd tranny setup in those has a poor reputation, and high repair cost.

                  The manuals or the autotragics?

                    Volvo's FWD manuals shift worse than trucks. The automatics are reasonably robust if you change the fluid every 100k.

                      Right, but isn't the R awd?

                                No the problematic one is the 01+ V70XC/XC70 AWD "Geartronic" tranny by Aisin. It's a pile of shit. $3000 pile of shit.
