Yeah, they're quite addictive. I've had mine for 4 years and it has been the most fragile car I've ever owned, but I've stuck with it, no rational reason why!
Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong with this car has gone wrong - I've replaced the angle gear, the MAF sensor, MAP sensor, electronic boost controller, primary intercooler, radiator, differential electronic module (Haldex), exhaust, wheels(!), engine (twice!) although that's probably because it's running higher boost (now with stronger liners), along with everything that I would consider consumable - discs, pads, plugs, belts, fluids, tyres, blah, blah ...
The only major component that hasn't needed replacing has been the suspension but, with the car's history so far, I'm guessing it's just a matter of time
If you're going for one, go in with your eyes wide open, check the stuff that others have mentioned, and decide, but be aware that these can be expensive beasts to maintain properly. Worth every penny when compared with what else you can get for the money but, jeez ...
My S60R will become my track car come summer time when my Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 earns its retirement, but my next road car definitely won't be a Volvo.
Whatever, you do, I hope it works well for you
