Congratulations on the new ride. It's always an amazing feeling to get into a new car (not necessarily "brand new" but new compared to your current car).

Congrats! I love this car! You're, right, it is a huge sleeper. They are decently quick and the seats are incredibly comfortable. Just watch out for suspension failures in the future. What color interior and is it auto or manual?

I love the s60 in general. Some of the most comfortable seats ive ever sat it, good looking, good to drive and the ones i have driven have held up very well considering who own em (young kids who do not give two ****s about cars) And it being a R makes the deal so much better. Congrats and have fun with it. This is a car i am thinking of picking up in the near future

volvo... boring bland family cars that they say are safe in accidents~ but i always thought the idea was to not get into accidents in the first place...

BUT... the S60R~ imo always seemed a bit out of place in the volvo line up, nice

Sure, that used to be that reality circa 1950-1999, but Volvo has changed. You can't call them bland anymore, S80 aside. I think they've carved out the stylish-quirky-near luxury niche.
