The 2018 S60 has been around since 2010, when it was introduced as a 2011 model. An older design for sure, but still a very nice design, fuel efficient, and has good power. It doesn’t have a touch screen (which has to be wiped clean all the time) or semi autonomous driving, but how is it “very outdated?” The safety is outstanding and the seats are super comfortable and supportive. Given a low payment, where’s the downside?
The XC90 T5 is a good size 7-passenger SUV that goes 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. That’s a turtle?
I’m looking at this thread on 2018 Audi A4 Premium with $3,000 DAS and $529/mo and you said “Dang! 574 is cheapest that I have seen with 15K miles. Not bad.” What am I missing?
Q50 3.0T is a much better car than a 4 cylinder S60 (which is absolutely gutless), and was designed back in 2010 LOL! It is faster than a stock 6 cylinder S60 T6, and the T5 can’t even keep up with a base A4
If you want that car, then go get one))
Performance was not the comment. It was age of the design. Yes, Q50 can perform better (although only 0.2 secs faster in a straight line comparing 3.0T to T6). S60 is far more comfortable. I like both vehicles, and own neither, so I’m just being fair to both. Design is one thing, and purely aesthetic and meaningless. The platform under the S60 is a whole 5 years younger than that under the Q50. I find merits and demerits in both vehicles.
Yeah, that Q50 is light years better being designed in 2013, and has arguably the worst infotainment system in the industry.
It’s also built on the FM platform, which debuted in 2001. Yes, 17 years ago. The Q50 platform is the equivalent of the Ford Panther platform (Think Crown Vic) of JDM.
