Have you got a local Volvo dealer? I too was looking at the S60 earlier this year and I managed to hire one from Harratts for just over £100 for a long weekend - picked it up Good Friday and returned it Easter Monday. The model I had was the D5 SE auto with full leather, climate control etc brand new with 22 miles on the clock! Took it up the motorway at 80 tickled the accelerator and away it went to 100 in no time at all. Plus it had the most comfy seats I have ever sat in - heated too. Are you thinking of diesel or petrol? The sales rep I spoke to said the petrol was quicker in 0-60 terms (approx. 8 secs.) but the diesel had better mid range as it has a lot more torque. In the end I couldn`t get the spec I wanted for the price I wanted to pay but one evening I saw a Volvo C70 coupe at a very good price so I bought that instead - I always was a sucker for 2 door cars anyway! Craig. The C70 by the way has been fantastic so far , touch wood.
