Hi Pat,
I see your concern is mostly about the reliability of turbo engines. I would
say: the VOLVO turbo 2.4 or the "new" 2.5 engines are good for at least some
200.000mls. I have no doubts about that. And they deliver a fine torque
moment. Sure, "normal" treatment "required". That means: no racing with cold
engine. But this is standard with all engines.
In the latest issue of the magazine "Auto Motor Sport" there was a
comparison test between BMW 330IX, Audi A4 3.0 Quattro and the S60 2.5T AWD.
The S60 2.5T AWD won. This is not very often here in germany that a
non-german car wins over a 2 german cars..... Sure, the overall differences
are small: 479 points to 474 and 473.
In my opinion you can`t do anything wrong with choosing a S60.
Jürgen
