I like the gauges. I would prefer the stock body kit though.

I forgot where I read it, but someone created a 500hp TT S60R.

Default IMO, I like the S60R. Stealthy, relatively rare, and has oomph. But it is a Volvo. If you can get

over that, I say go for it. I park close to one at work from time to time- I really like it. Then again, I'm in my early 30s, so take my opinions w/ a grain of salt...

Default I'm in my early thirties and share your opinion except having to get over the Volvo name.

Well, sort of. All of my friends regard them as old people cars. Oh well. If I get it, I'll have to give them a little ride and show them old people driving.

They are being heavily discounted. If it was the V70R it would be a more interesting deal. :-)

Default The active chassis is really great - you can choose between classic Volvo mushiness for those rough

roads, or suspension similar to Track Sports in terms of preventing body roll.

The feeling I always got was that the spring rates did not seem well matched in the harder settings.
