Having owned 2 190e, a Volvo 240, 740 and 960 and 850, I can tell you that the volvos will be substantially cheaper and easier to maintain. The bosch LH 2.4 and 3.1 fuel injection alone on the volvos is head and sholders above the CIS madness under the hood of a 190. Just get a naturally aspirated volvo and you'll never look back. I'm willing to put the extra money and work into the 190s because I think they are worth to me but in simple terms of cost per mile the volvos win every time.
