Cool S60r

I am looking to learn everything I can about the S60R. It seems like a amazing hot car. I am thinking about buying one, but I need to learn a little more about it before I do. I have never seen a vehicle perform as this seems to.
So those of you in the know, please share what you know. I want to learn.
I am a empty book, wanting to learn something.
Thanks bunches.
Enjoy the holiday season all

Re: S60r

Volvo S60R, according to "Car Magazine" is "a disappointment, with spongy brakes, numb steering and damping so poorly resolved the 4wd car pogos all over the place. Stabbing away at the dash-mounted buttoms to chance the settings of the computer-controlled suspension makes little difference to the constant sharp vertical movements in the cabin."

Performance: 5.7 sec 0-62, 155mph, 26.4mpg

Re: S60r

You must be driving a different S60R than I have. The AWD works really well, the active suspension settings are usefull though the 'advanced' is really only for the track. Though it is not anything like the M3 it is still a quick car with good atributes.
With some ECU, Air filter and exhaust upgrades this machine hauls the preverbial rear end and watch out M3.
