I wanted a car my g/f could drive, and I live in the city currently and my daily 6 mile commute takes 40-50 minutes, so manual got a little old in stop and go.

The S60R is a lot more expensive, and lacks reliability. The suspension especially has proven to wear out excessively. Volvo parts are expensive, but hopefully it proves to be reliable.
