Don't do it. Had the opportunity to rent a 2.5t for 3 days. By the 3rd day I was tired of it and couldn't wait to get my s70 out the shop. Nice car but the turning circle is too big, the interior is plain looking, the cruise control switch is in a terrible location on the steering wheel. Accidently hit it on more than one occasion, thankfully wasn't nobody in front of me. Volvo after all this time still hasn't figured out how to make a nice riding car because over a big enough bump the car wiil make you feel like your riding the bus. Get something else. You'll be bored with it by the time you get home.

We just took delivery of a '09 S60 2.5T a few weeks ago, after trading in our '94 850GLT. The new S60 is refined, comfortable and goes like stink! We spared no expense with the complete luxury pkg inlcuding body kit and rear wing. The car is turning heads with the body kit as it gives the car a very aggressive look in the sport department. Turn off the traction control, put the transmission (geartronic) into first gear, drop the pedal and the car will smoke the Pirellis no problem, while at the same time remain smooth and linear. This I have only done twice as I just had to see what the car could do. We also upgraded the rims to 17" Multispoke Alloys. Bottom line, the car is for my wife and she just loves it.

The company stopped production of 09s because of poor sales. Buy one, you will like it. A bit more cramped than the V70.
