The 02 has the newer electronic throttle module which has proven to be
much more reliable than the one used from 99-01. Even though they've
extended the warranty on the 99-01 cars, the best warranty is the one
you don't have to use. For that reason I wouldn't even consider a 99-01
model.

Second that! Our 2001 V70 2,4T has seen them all. Must have set the new
world record with the number of faults so far. Thus, go for '02. Don't
even think of other options!
