I imagine a Subaru would be ultimately more reliable, but anecdotally, we currently have a Volvo XC70 (and previously had a V50) and both have been really solid and reliable cars without any real issues outside of maintenance items. My parents too have a Volvo, and my brother has 2...and neither has complained either. They are well built cars, and the seats alone are worth it for most.

I don't see them being anywhere close to being as unreliable as a Land Rover or Jag. Most of the complaints in these new ownership surveys are about infotainment systems and usage of gadgets, so the less of those you get the more "reliable" your car will be.
