Anyone moved from an 850 to an S60? S60

I've been driving around in a S60 T5 while my s70 GLT is in the shop. I have to admit, it is a awesome car. The ride is much smoother and the turns are crisp and tight. This may be due to the 17" Pirellis on this beast. However, the s70 has a better turning ratio.

For some reason, the s60 windows don't go down all the way (they stay up about 1/4 of an inch) and it is a pain driving around if you like to stick your elbow out when the windows are rolled down. The dash layout is better on the s70, but I like the cruise control on the steering wheel of the s60. The volume control on the steering wheel is nice, too. I have to admit, I like the styling of the s60, but I'm sure I'd miss the classy boxy look of the s70 after a while.

BTW, I traded in a BMW 325is for the s70, and have not regretted it one bit. Yes, I lost some performance, but I don't do corners at 60mph anymore, and the driving comfort far outweighs the performance loss.
