Buy V70?

Hi together So far I drive Mercedes. But the current models are – to say the least – in need of getting used to, and older Mercedes (old C-Class) that I would like to roast pretty much. How is that with the Volvo V70? From the shape I would like it. What about the fuel consumption? How reliable are they (even climate, automatic)? I don’t have to ask a seller, because they always praise their goods…
