My mom has a TL Type S. Other than some minor little problems like the transmission siezing up on the interestate (Warranty replaced, was a known problem) and the back arm rests falling apart (replaced for free, the dealer was embarrassed) it has been a great car. I know they dropped the Type S moniker and they all now have the same motor.
My wife drives a Volvo S60 AWD, and was involved in an accident last week with my 2 year old in the back in her car seat. Both front air-bags deployed, and both my wife and daughter walked away un-injured. I am 6'4" tall and the seat behind me is a little cramped, while I am driving, but not horrible. The Volvo is a tank, and I am very thankful that they were in it. Surprisingly it did not do much damage to the car. If I were you, I would look very seriously at a lease returned S60R, they are out there. When the lease is up on my S60, I very seriously considereing selling my Tahoe, and buying one of the new XC90's with a V-8.
