The R car (S60 and V70) both run a small turbo only pushing about 5-7lbs of boost at WOT. It is a easy car to get more power out of IF you have the right equiptment handy. As for the suspension problems everyone has had, it is normal for a sports suspension to make noise, hell you should hear my 300ZX its suspension makes more noise than a box full of tree frogs. But my suspension is a bit high strung. Honestly I find most peoples problems with the R cars suspension is the fact they leave it in one position for extended periods of time, like months, and never ever change it becuase they want a SOFT ride. The R car wasnt meant to be a grociery get'r but a performance car, with some luxery bits. The R cars only major problem from my POV is that it IS heavy and it is aimed at the WRONG demigraphic. Its aimed at the middle aged, older, established driver. For 35+k its a bit pricey for what you get but it doesnt take much to make it what you want.
