4 cyl Honda Accord. They run forever. Period.
But if you have your heart set on one of those other two, I'd go with the Subaru.. repairs on the Volvo will eat you alive. Sister in Law had the Outback... she loves it, and has put some serious milage on it with only normal maintenance.

Charlie, does the XC indicate Cross Country?...if so, is that all-wheel-drive?...I wouldn't think good gas is gonna be there for ya....and you'll wanna look at octane requirements for both cars...some need Hi-Test...which for me is short for Hi-Dollar, Test my Patience!

Ive always loved the Subarus.
Also something to consider, Charlie is a VW Jetta. Ive got a friend with one and she loves it. Very slick inside, excellent mileage and dependable as can be. I plan on getting the wife one soon Lord Willing.

Same thing with the Volvos. I love them mechanically...solid, well built...but like all vehicles, they require regular maintenance to keep them running right...and wait till you get that repair bill...speaking from experience..trust me.
