Volvo V70 or VW Passat

Hello community, I’m facing a small problem. I have to have a new car. My budget is 10,000 EUR I’ve now looked at some Passat and Volvo V70. I tend to V70 myself, therefore this forum too. The Passat is solid and more favorable in insurance than the V70. The V70 has the larger trunk. I also heard a lot negative about the somewhat newer models of Volvo. Now I have an appointment for a visit to a V70 vo tomorrow. n 2006, 2.4 L at 140 hp Time is pressing because my Madza is standing in the garage and every start becomes a surprise. The air-conditioning compressor is defective, clamps and blocks the engine. If it goes on then it sounds like a bucket of screws, because the magnetic coupling is also broken and how crazyly scrapes. 1. What would you advise me to do? 2. What is the reliability of this V70 model? It seems a bit strange to me that a 2.4 machine has only 140 hp. 3. What should I pay attention to at the K on a V70? What are the problems? 4. I don’t know if I can drive on the highway tomorrow. Does the car pull properly? Hope for your early answers. Thank you, Jens.
