I drove the S60 T5 back in '99 when I bought my 9-5. Good straight acceleration, but it drove like a truck. My other "car" is a truck so I know truck-like handling, and I definitely didn't want it in my car! I had never driven a Volvo before and didn't have any preconceptions about the brand (or later did I learn the irony of truck-like handling in the S60 since Volvo builds a lot of trucks :). My wife thought it was prettier than the 9-5, but she hated the interior layout. The rear seat seemed to have more space than the 9-5, but that is about the only good thing I could say.
Drive them both. You don't even need a twisty road to feel the difference (at least you didn't 3 years ago - maybe they've improved the suspension since).
