What's new? ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Phil Punxsutawney on  Thu Apr 5 00:12 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Most of the major enthusiast magazines - Car and Driver, Rodent Track, Automobile - have had the S60 at or near the bottom of the list in recent comparison tests. Which either proves that Folvo dropped the ball with the S60, or that every single magazine is venal (and that BMW provides the best venality). I think I remember reading that one mag even had their BMW's motor explode, and that still didn't cost BMW a first or second place finish.

I've had an S60-LPT service loaner, and it's an OK car. Brakes are "touchy" as all the magazines have pointed out. More up-to-date than my V70T5, but I'd hope so. Not as fast. I wouldn't buy one because a wagon fits my needs better than a sedan.
