Any comments about the reliability of Volvos?

I was looking at Volvo's recently, as car for the household (grocery carrier, long distance car, etc). I've noticed that these car's depreciate worse than Mitsubishis (which I find incredible, since Mitsubishis lost their value fast enough, but these Volvos take the cake), hence relatively late models can be had for a great price.

My question: does anyone on here have any experience with Volvos? Are there any stereotypical problems that plague these cars? I am looking at years from 1996-2003, roughly. I realize that Volvo's liveup consists of mostly 5-cyl oddball turbocharged or twin-turbocharged vehicles, so boost = faster engine wear, but any insight would be appreciated.
