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.

I think with your suggestion of the Acuras you may have unwittingly been speaking to what i was talking about, which is mainly that there is a difference in the fit and finish of a Volvo compared with a Honda. They are both very reliable, but a 10 year old Volvo (or Acura) often feels virtually new while the Hondas seem more dated. Naturally there are exceptions and this is MHO.
