its better than an 850R Robin, its the 850r engine with a nicer interior, looks better imo and the insurance is 100 notes cheaper.

plus its damn hard to find an 850 in the same condition.

i cant wait to pick it up

I work for volvo,they are awesome cars, safety wise they are the safest cars on the road,you wouldnt believe the hidden safety features on the cars! Have seen them stripped and its a real eye opener comparing them to other cars. Renault make me laugh bragging with their 5 star ncap rating, volvo do 27 safety checks reno do 5 , the s60 only has 4 stars as this was tested on the old model and volvo cannot be bothered to re test the new one as it would piss it so it stands at 4 stars
