You are right Luw. i do have an S60. And what i like about that is the soft feeling of the suspension. It's a cruiser and not a sports car. I know that and i enjoy my car. I don't want any "thrills" and i am not a race driver so that i can get them. And i do most of my driving in the S60 in the highway, not in "joyfull" curvy roads.
Ok, it may not be the safest car of the planet, but it gives me the feeling of safety, and this is very important. It ads to my confidence as a driver. In the kind of driving i do, that lack of feedback is the best thing the car offers. As i said i drive most of the time in highway in speeds about 150km/h and for many hours. So the soft susp. and the lack of feedback is what makes me not get tired easily.
The opposite happens with my old Clio. It is so damn old and crappy that everytime i hit a bump on the road, or it rains much, i feel that the car is gonna brake into pieces.
