ALL reliable cars stop being fun and nice long before they stop running. That's why they're called reliable - - because they annoyingly don't give you the excuse to replace them.
I'll vote Honda. It's definitely cheaper to fix than the Volvo, and as to the reliability, I'll put a Honda up against any other car any day of the week. It may not beat all the other cars in reliability, but it certainly at least matches them.
Have you also considered looking at an Acura from the years you're considering? The CL, TL and RL (this one may still be too much for you) are roughly the size of an Accord, and they're MUCH nicer. You can get 'em for a song too since they've been replaced with newer versions.
