While the new S60 look good it's HP figures
are kind of optimistic. Don't forget that
with AWD you will burn more fuel and lose
some performance compared to a 2wd car (more friction losses).
Also the S60 has no T7 ECU, it looses power at altitude long
before an Aero does.
The S4... well if you want a car that has it's share of engine
problems this is the way to go. Audi is drooping the V6 twin
turbo for the next S4 as it's too much trouble. There are too
many asymetric charge problems where one turbo works harder then
the other. The result is often turbo failures or worse the timing
belts go bust when you push the engine.
BMW... not the sort of car to drive on snow...
Electronic gizzmo or not...
I would extend my lease and get the new 9-5 Aero with the new Seats.
Yeah and get a 5spd, no cripple-matic LOL
Regards,
Coolknight
