S60 was worst of the lot... Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Sat, 18 Sep 2004 22:30:27 In Reply to: Volvo R - Sales Flop?, Malbec, Sat, 18 Sep 2004 06:32:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I drove the underpowered A4 1.8t which was still way better than the "help me, I'm dying" screaming that the S60 engine did under full acceleration. It was boxy and the front end doesn't follow the front wheels right away. I also drove the BMW 325i, Mercedes C240, and 9-3 Sports Sedan Linear, Arc, and Aero. S60 was easily last place. The A4 was second and with the more powerful engine, would be a good 9-3 competitor if not for the price being so much more. BMW and Mercdes were what they were, but not that interesting to me.
