I've had mine for about a month and took it on a 1000 mile trip. This car is stylish, fun to drive, solid, and very comfortable. If you don't need AWD, don't bother with the T6 and save at least five grand. The T5's power is excellent. The front seats are the most comfortable ones that I've ever had in a car, but the lumbar adjuster is in an awkward place. Gas mileage is astounding. On the trip using cruise as much as possible, six hours from PA to VA we averaged 34mpg!! 28 mpg up and down hills from VA to WV. Didn't reset and after the WV back to PA run, we were back at 32 mpg. I, and my son with ipod, think the base sound system is fine. Excellent value compared to the A4, 328i, & 300C.

I just bought this car yesterday and drove it 700 miles to my home. It drives great! A lot of power yet still fuel efficient. I averaged >30 mpg on the highway during my first trip. The handling is tight and responsive. The front seats are incredibly comfortable and supportive. The lumbar support is great. Even after sitting in the car for >10 hours I had no back pain or fatigue. I got a great deal on a 2 year old lease turn in. I was between buying a BMW 3 series and Volvo S60. The BMW wons hands down for performance. I bought the Volvo because I loved the styling, it drove very well and was packed full of features for 10K less than the comparable BMW. Great value.

When you talk about burning the midnight oil, this car takes it to a different level. All the reviews on her are accurate. Volvo does not live up to his reputation. This was a horrible year for engines and I am very reluctant to by another Volvo. While driving with my family 2 pistons failed. Volvo has no explanation and doesn't care. Be aware of Volvo...

Still a great car. It doesn't have the tank-like feel of my previous 2004 S60 2.5T, seems much more nimble and way more kick in the pants with Sport mode. A completely comfortable long range driver, comfortable for 4 but 5 in a pinch. I doubt it would hold luggage for 5. Fuel mileage is quite decent if you keep your foot light. Very low maintenance costs, gas-tires-filters and oil only, so far. <wood gets knocked>

This is a great car. I test drove the a4 and 3 series. All three are great cars. But optioned out the s60 kicks BMW and Audi butt. About $5k less. I received 5 yr warranty including maintenance at no charge! Not even BMW can beat that.
