Pros: Styling, safety, comfort
Cons: Groaning engine, marginal power, marginal room in rear seat, tight trunk opening
The Bottom Line: Safe and good-looking, but not much fun to drive.
A driving enthusiast with three kids, I'm always interested in driving manual-shift sedans and wagons in the $30,000 range. I visited a Volvo dealer interested in driving any S60 or V70 they had with a manual transmission. The only such car this dealer ...

Pros: Undoubtedly the best performance sedan under $40K.
Cons: Just a little bit more power and it would be perfect.
The Bottom Line: The R is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I wouldn't get any other S 60 than this. And the T5 is dead with the introduction of the R.

Pros: Style, power, safety
Cons: Color selection, accessories are hard to come by
I bought this car after getting my Master's degree as a little treat. I have been happy with the power and the features galore. I probably did not need the leather seats, sun roof, or electric shotgun seat, but they are nice features. I do recommend this car, only BUY A USED VOLVO- they are much more affordable, and they are just as good a year old. The only drawback would be lack of accessories available.
