Certainly should be more reliable than that S-10. Not to knock the truck, it's got a decent drivetrain (if the 4.3V6).
Anyways, off to my beer.

then go for it volvo > base model s-10
and volvo = safety especially if there's a little one on the way
good luck

In its defense, by '02 the S10 was pretty much perfected. I've got a friend with a 5 speed '02 S10 with the 2.2 and he loves it and had no warranty claims at all. Sure, it's a pushrod motor in the 21st century, but it works. No good for a kid though - I'm sure the crash rating is abysmal.
cheers,
scott

I had a 91 4.3L sonoma SLT/ST (different badging in different places).
it was the bees knees.
4.3L, 4-speed, LSD, bilstien suspension, bucket seats...
fun times.
on-topic, the xc70 is a great car.. I'd own one in a second. the price seems good, too. the I5 rocks, and like others have said, the cars are pretty damn safe.
