I'm 1.5 months into driving my new to me 04 Volvo S60R. 300 HP turbocharged and intercooled 2.5 L I5, 6 spd. manual, AWD, Brembo 4 piston calipers all around, very nice full leather interior with uber comfortable & supportive heated seats, and a damn good stereo, which functions well since it's so quiet inside while driving.
It handles really well, and it has driver controllable active suspension to set the shock damping and throttle input mapping since it's drive by wire.
We just did a 450 mile roadtrip for Thanksgiving, mostly interstate, and averaged 23.7 mpg, cruising @ 75 - 85.
I can't wait for our first significant snow to test the AWD. To me, this is an ultimate DD.
