| Re: Just bought a S60R Yes, one has done that obviously! I am trying to fast track my knowledge from people who have owned them for a while. Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

| Re: Just bought a S60R Mark Here is a short list of my likes and dislikes: Economy - long trips can get near 30 mpg, very good; around town low twenties - still good, I try to not drive like a fool Comfort - very much so, wife loves the seats, but not much rear leg room Cannot read radio dial in sunlight or bright light - nuisance Large turning radius Rear vision not so hot Problems: Wheel alignment, feathered tires, still does but not as much as when I bought it. Factory tires do not last long at all. Alloys have no sidewall protection from tire, be very careful Irritating knock when shifting torque directions, such as braking then starting off. Developed after 10K miles. After saw factory rep they glued the axles which solved problem for a year, now has returned again with service on it this Tuesday Car is skittery over small ripples in road. There is a rear bushing replacement which is supposed to help but I did not see much difference AC noise and wine - being worked on Software suspension upgrade caused problem with headlight alignment, had to get a second patch to fix that Several rattles which dealer fixed Overall dealer very professional Have not had any ETM issues but from discussions on Volvo list this car may be part of the software upgrade to prolong usable life I plan on keeping the car a long time.
