I've got an '04 V70 T5, which replaced a '96 850 GLT. The V70 is a HUGE improvement over the 850, IMO. Handles well, its FAST and comfortable. and holds a lot of stuff. Its my dd sports gear hauler and family vacation mobile. I can put 4 bicycles on the roof rack, 3 sets of golf clubs and 4 rollaway luggage pieces in the back and get to our house in Sunriver in less than 8 hours - and get 20 mpg.

BTW, I bought the T5 over the XC 70 since I didn't need the ground clearance and I thought (still do) that the XC is fugly. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the T6 AWD, mainly to avoid having to put on or carry Spider Spikes (though I like them a LOT more than chains).
