A mate of mine just test drove a volvo S60
T5 and reckoned it was the danglies.

Is he right?

I've also test driven a T5 S60. Had it for the day in fact. It was an auto but had sequential gear option too. Not bad for a Volvo, liked the leather but its no Impreza. Still a heavy big tank in my opinion.

Well our 60 year old facilities guy loved it when there was one in our company car park and says in 5-6 years he will be looking for one second hand.

Won't drive like a scooby. I know the women who bought it and she said she liked the looks and doesn't drive it very fast, just wanted a solid car.

Had one for an afternoon. Think it's a great car. One of the best cars for high-speed cruising. It's silent as a Lexus, quick as a 330 and built like auuuh, Volvo, although this time it's even a beauty compared to a beemer or merc. The S-60T5 is cheap too. Loaded with the same standard equipment a MY01 WRX will not be far off in price and the Volvo beats it hands down on almost all territories. It has its downs too, not much involvement in the steering, understeer, 250 hp FWD, it 'dances' a bit around short corners. Well. It's a cruiser, and a fast one. The ideal car for someone who doesn't want a beemer.
