We need a little positive talk around here.

I'll go first: a little 2.5 dynamo that even stock pulls like a small block eight when needed, comfortable yet nimble handling, strong brakes, a well matched 6-speed, excellent stereo, all wrapped in a comfy Atacama glove that I can sit in all day and be more refreshed than when I started.

Actually, that's a lot of great features. And all for under $40k.

The fact that most Volvo owners don't even know that my R is a Volvo!Oh and the seats are comfy!

Overall performance

 

[rollie]

Yes, the best factor is stealth. I don't need every rice rocket racer trying to get my attention.

Best feature, the turbo engine allways pulling away with ease up to 120 mph; It pulls away from almost anyone, specially if you asually drive at altitudes above 5,000 ft. Closely followed the nicest interior in it's class and two or three classes above.

The driver-operated unruly rear-seat passenger head knockers.

I like the blue gauges first.
Next the stereo.
Then the seats.

Helmut, Stagg... great answers! I like the Haldex AWD system. In first and second, accelleration around a low speed 90 degree turn with the R in advanced mode... it is the only thing that gives me chills every time! *whew*... sorry.. I hafta go drive now!

Going up a 5% grade from 7200 feet to 8600 feet elevation in 6th gear and accelerating at will without downshifting.

I've only had my R for just over a week now and I've already done that to one unsuspecting passenger. Laughed my butt off!

Slipping into the drive-all-day seat, with a cup of hot coffee in my "R" (Kelly) mug !!

The stealth factor is very appealing & once I resolved my early squeal issues, the brakes are awesome! The sound system is pretty solid too!

I still http://********************/smile/emlove.gif my R

AWD

No AWD with DSTC turned off, in Advanced mode with BSR Stage 1 and running heavy 104 octane mix down a twisty country road. http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

Aftet that, I'd say the norm's.

1. Sweeeet look (Yes, including the Flash Green/Attac Interior combo)
(Gotta see it in real life to appreciate.)

2.Seats

3. Dash Cluster (although making gauges to match is costing me a bunch!!)

4. Something else I like is the shifter, how it sits with console and overall it's got some very agreeable operation.

I would say the sonic blue. That color is what made me notice the car.
If it were not for sonic or red, I would probably never even have noticed the R.

It is a jack of all trades. Since I can't own a separate track car, luxury sedan/cruiser, and AWD bad weather car, I get all in one package. The only seats that I have been more impressed with were in a Ferarri 575M, but that is just because the fit like a glove, the R seats might be better on a long drive.
