Lethargic
Found myself shifting the trans to "Sport" mode because in drive mode it shifts like a granny and is unresponsive; it short shifts into 2nd gear when under moderate to heavy throttle. In regular mode off the line, this car feels like a prius. It is slow to accelerate and short-shifts every gear. When trying to pass, the transmission takes too long to respond. I would not buy this car.
Awesome Car
This car is great, it anticipates what you want before you do, I will never drive anything else. I still feel this way.

First car
Loved it as a first car. It drives fantastic, and has a lot of features a lot of newer cars still seem to lack. I wish, for what is considered a luxury vehicle, it at least had a back up camera however. Biggest con is the fact that ANY sort of repair will take a decent chunk out of your wallet, as most parts are wildly unavailable and have to be ordered and shipped. At around 100k-105k miles however, my engine blew with zero warning. ($3.5k-$4.5k for a replacement which ALSO has 100k+ miles on it) Considering Volvo usually upholds a standard of being reliable, I'm disappointed this was ever an issue.

Fancy car
Great car...... Except for the Check Engine Light alert. I have been back to the dealer five times to the dealer w/o a fix.

New S60 T5
I kept my eye on the S60, since I needed a more 'corporate' car, coming out of my 2009 C30 I've loved for the last 3 years. The S60 hit all the marks: upscale, gorgeous inside and out; fun to drive and decent price/performance. Consumer Reports and the auto trade press seem to all like this car, and it scores well on the CR reliability ratings. I've had mine for about 2 weeks. This is the first time in about 30 years of purchasing cars that I've bought the same brand back-to-back. This car is a hit for Volvo.
