One of my cars is a 1999 Volvo S70 T5, sure it is a q ship and no one pays attention to it...0-60 is about 6.5 seconds, 236 hp. front drive handles well, especially with the sport suspension option and a new set of 4 Bilsteins. Wet weather does not hamper the handling. Safe as milk, goes like a bat outta hell, decent gas mileage, room for grandma and grandpa and the kids. large trunk...best a/c heater on the planet and those seats are like heaven. Sure it is an automatic, for the wife you understand, but i do not mind the throttle by wire trans setup that learns what i want and shift when i want it to with the go pedal.
