Last week I almost bought a red '06 S60 AWD R with the Volvo factory body kit...and the baseball leather stitching. The car is extremely fast and very smooth even with those 18" wheels, brakes are incredible as well.
The one I looked at had 12K on the clock and the Volvo dealer was offering it with TWO sets of wheels and tires (summer and winter) and they were prepared to take $31.5K which I thought was a screaming deal.
Car and Driver October 2005 recently reviewed the car against:
Saab Saab 9-3 Aero - came last
The Volvo came second from last - surprising
Then came the Caddy CTS
Middle of the pack was the Acura TL and Audi A4
Infiniti G35 AWD came third
Lexus IS350 came second
Bimmer 330i came first
Cost of ownership on the Volvo does scare me as I drive a Mazda every day which has alot of miles on it and it continues to be reliable and fast.....so it was hard to take the plunge (for now anyway).
