Volvo S60... anyone have one or another volvo?

[642mx]

I saw the commercial for the S60 the other day and it got me thinking about a brand that I've never considered (and know even less about)...

I visited the Volvo site and did some reading on the S60 and from comparing the options and features, it ranks right up there (or past) my Lexus IS250.

I'm off work Saturday and may go drive one. The local dealer has a loaded version on the lot that I'm sure I could test drive and check out. But I know nothing about them...

So does anyone have a Volvo or a Volvo S60 that can give me some info or advice on the brand?...

Good stuff, I had an ex with an X70 that was a very nice ride. Not Audi or BMW quick, but I liked the seats, drove great and it didn't seem to be any less reliable or expensive than anything else.

Yeah... the Volvo's pricing seems right inline with everyone else. I've been looking at the BMW 328i xdrive too. But for almost the same money, you can get 70 more horse with the Volvo.

I don't know what to do... my wifes car is a 2010 Lexus IS250 AWD with 9000 miles on it. I like it, but ever since it blew a tire out (and we all kinds of issues with the dealer trying to repair it correctly) she thinks that its going to lose a wheel everytime she hits a bump in the road. It sounds funny.... but she doesn't trust it. The best solution for my sanity is to trade it off.
