Re: S60 T5 vs. S70T5 S70 1998

Last month's Car & Driver included the S60 in their comparison test. They did a similar comparison test with the S70 two years ago. You should be able to do a direct comparison from those two sets of tests.

I drive a S70 T5A, and was therefore interested in this S60 test. I was suprised that the S60 performance numbers were significantly less than the S70's. Then I looked at the weight of the S60. It's jumped up by over 200 lbs over the S70. The 3200 lb curb wt of the S70 was what gave it the performance edge over the competiton.
