Purchasing new S60 T5

I will be replacing our '94 850 with a 2009 S60 T5 in the near future. If you are a S60 owner and want to share your experiences or give any advice, it would be appreciated. For example, accessories or options you have that ended up being a waste of time, or were problematic. Any known issues with the new S60s?
I'm not new to the Volvo brand, starting with a '82 240. TIA

Purchasing new S60 T5

Nice car. You should be able to get a pretty good price because Volvo's sales in USA have been dismal. Many dealers still have 2007 S60s. So negotiate hard and good luck.

Purchasing new S60 T5

There are only 2 options for a T5, heated seats and wheels.

I refuse to spend 2K for a nav system, when a regular Garmin is $400 and easy to use. My new car has a nav and I never use it, it is too complicated to set new directions.

The T5 already comes with a rear spoiler installed, so I would not get the other plastic trim pieces that get scraped in curbs. The mud flaps are a pain when they come loose, but keep road tar off the side of the car.
