Default Anybody here have or know about the Volvo S60R?

I know its got 300HP, Haldex AWD, etc. Anyone here actually own one? How are these cars overall from your experience? My wife used to have a 2001 V70 for about 3 years and really had no issues with it electrically or mechanically. I just saw a red S60R with 40K miles on it for about $20K. I really dig the style of the car.

Default My GF has an 04 S60R. We did a 3 inch DP and 3 inch exhaust from Evolve...

She loves the car. I like it alot...but its no TT. =)

The suspension is great....brakes are great...powerplant is great. Interior styling is subjective.

Default considering it as my next daily driver.

Along with A4, WRX, 300C and Legacy GT. I like them all but I figure I'll know what I want as I get closer to the purchase. All have their +&-. Volvo is very very reliable based on my experience.

Default 20k for that car is nice, but...

Depends on the year s60r. 2005+ I would snag it up... i checked out and test drove a few, and my friend used to own one. Very nice car, most comfortable seats ever, drives like a dream, but its still a family car, steering feels disconnected because its too power assisted, feels heavy into corners, and turning radius is equivalent to that of a 18 wheeler. Other than that, beautiful car!

Great for families!
