Been driving my S60 R-Design for just over a year. Great styling differentiates this car from a standard A4 or 3-Series. Motor is smooth and powerful with very little or no turbo lag. Interior is clean and comes off like a German car with a little twist. I actually use the on-dash dial pad often. It's not simply a gimmick. All in all, its a nice upgrade from my G37x but leaves me wanting just a little more. Maybe I'll consider the new Limited Edition R-Design if it isn't cost prohibitive. Update: The breaks are still horrible. Couple of distinct rattles which are well hidden.

She flies. That torque curve is unreal. After a week with the R-Spec I can say that the tight suspension handles uneven pavement better than I had expected. The cabin is very quiet and IMO the sound system is equal to the Audi with the Bang and Olufsen, as I tested the Audi and the Volvo the same day.

Best Car I have Owned S60 T6

For overall ownership this is possibly the most well balanced and designed car I have owned. I bought it three years ago (first Volvo) for an every day driver based on technology, power and looks. For a car approaching 10 years old with 140K's on it it is brilliant. Still has more technology that most brand new cars and the AWD is super safe in dry and wet conditions. The finish. performance, equipment, drive, safety and looks complete a very well rounded balanced motor vehicle. I have had many performance and luxury cars (late models) but all compromised some where this is indeed a sleeper and well kept secret. Totally impressed.

Appears to be a problem with this particular engine. #2 at 24000. Possibly #3 at 50000
