Well, today I said goodbye to the Murano, and picked up the new wifey. I had been looking to get another mustang, but figured I'd better invest my money in one car that satisfies all needs. Safety, speed, comfort, and bad weather capability. Specs:

2004 S60R AWD 6MT

Titanium Gray Pearl / Nordkap Blue/Black

-300hp/295tq 2.5L turbo I-5 (Factory boost appx 15psi)

-6spd close ratio transmission

-All Wheel drive

-4C Active Chassis Control (By Ohlins, Comfort/Sport/Advanced. Also adjusts throttle input)

-Brembo Brakes (4 piston calipers with R logo on all, 330mm rotors all around)

-Heated Leather, Moonroof, Dolby Pro Logic II Stereo, power seats, airbags galore.


PICS!!!!

looks good man. congrats.

better than the murano

no fancy orange and black seats?! dislike




but s60r's are nasty. and dennis(tasca performance) knows a shit ton about making em fast.

Haha nooo but I do like those interiors if they're on a blue/black car!

as for the second statement, yes it's nasty. Very decieving speedwise, caught myself a couple times. And yes, dennis does know quite a bit about them. First plans are an IPD intake and some kind of exhaust, and hopefully have dennis tune it.

very nice! too bad you didnt opt for the factory lip kit but those are hard as fuck to find

Very nice!

not that hard to find junior.

lol and it from tasca haha



but 1200 for a factory lip kit kinda sucks

i meant one with it already on...... fucking mexicans

I absolutely hate the factory lip kit, I think it looks like shit. They look much better with no lip, possibly lowered with springs. Fun fact about the suspension while we're on that:

-Active suspension pulls data from sensors 500 times/sec. Example: Go to jack on the brakes, by the time the pads touch the rotor the computer knows how fast youre going, how hard you hit the brakes, how much the car will nosedive, and how much to pump the shocks to correct it.

Tasca I think will only be doing the tuning for me, if that. I'm definitely going with an IPD intake, potentially EST or evolve exhaust, IPD downpipe, and either a tasca tune (if reasonable price) or the IPD softloader.

eh to each his own, good luck with it. i would love to one day get a v70r

there's a few around, tough to find though.


Oh, and for a 3700lb car, this thing MOVES. Factory rates 0-60 in 5.2 or something like that, 60-0 in 120ft, i'm absolutely loving it.

that is sweet, makes me want a volvo now

that is sweet, makes me want a volvo now

well good luck, id never buy a Volvo, but thats just me

Neither would I, aside from the S60R or V70R. All the reviews I read of these R models are incredibly good. Out of 111 reviews on Edmunds (most of which either had or bought with 50k+ already) say these cars are absolutely rock solid. The major complaints are turning circle (a truckish 42 ft) and squeaky brakes. As solid as this car is and safe, I'll deal with squeaky brakes and a few multi-point turns to cover all the bases I need a car to cover.

What IS the purpose of the headlight wipers?

I'd imagine it was functional for the salt/mud that gets kicked up during winter months and obstructs the beam of the headlight. A rarity, but nice to have.

theyre gay. no car needs them.

Nice pick up. I approve!







It's a euro thing. From pics it looks like alot of them over there have the headlight wipers.

i was just thinking, and i know you had a nissan product. did you consider an M35/45? i always loved those cars, and if i was gonna buy a foreign car, it'd be a nissan. im just curious more than anything. plus im sure the M would be more $$ than that S60

I did for sure. Only thing is I wanted the man pedal back, and the G35x is only offered in auto, and while I probably would have put up with the automatic for an m35x, they're WAY too much money for me right now.

def a sexy car...congrats homie!

Congrats! I was just looking around for another vehicle, I need a daily driver.

You ask me to do your radio i will say yes then punch you in the face

nice pick up

hahaha to be honest homie, I'm more than happy with the dolby system in this thing. It's nuts! And yes I do appreciate the offer bahahah

I never really got into Volvos, but thats a nice looking car

Very nice volvo

My coworker just picked one up as well, nice cars.
