I think your independent guy probably doesn't like them because of all the new electronics and perhaps his inability to tap into them because he's not a dealer (or is unwilling to take on the expense of being able to tap into them). There's plenty of things to avoid on a Volvo, and plenty of things to feel good about, too. In general, I'm not a fan of owning a modern one past 100K miles, as they start to bite like a lot of makes (other than Toyota and Honda, and their derivatives). I think the way to go is lease or buy with a 100-125K warranty. The average cost is higher, but worth it.
