Back around the time of 2005, my former company presented to a VP at Volvo headquarters in Irvine, California. It turns out there are car guys at Volvo not just employees worried about safety and family haulers from A to B. Who knew. We gave our presentation and traded car stories with a guy that loved the performance aspect of his current company car, the S60 R. He tossed us the keys and invited us to take it for a ride. We literally just met this man an hour ago. We obliged, leaving the building alone with his keys, a slight snicker and a short walk to the parking structure. In a sea of Volvos we “bleeped bleeped” our way to his car and per his instructions, hauled-ass outta there. The Volvo was tight, right and not too slight of power and performance. It was a pleasant surprise and a drive I would like to repeat.
“05 volvo s60 R AWD! This is the perfect car for you and for a very affordable price. This beauty has only 72/k original miles. It is super stable with great handling running condition. City 20/hwy 28 (2.5L v5 engine, turbo/6-speed Manual trans). You will fall in love with the smooth performance, the exterior, and interior of this Volvo.
