    The cars are definitely different and that's backed up by the fact that the S80 and V70 share a Haynes Book of B*llo*ks and the S60 has a separate one.
    You can't get away with saying it, as you own clapped out examples if both models, if you'd driven decent examples you'd know they're roughly the same. In fact a S60 is a superior car for ride and handling, as the body shell has more torsional rigidity.

    For what it's worth my Dad owns a 56 plate V70 D5 SE Lux with cream leather and wood trim. My seats have smooth softer leather, my car has xenon headlights, electric folding mirrors, child abuse headrests. All missing from his car. Oh did I mention the 4C active suspension. Oh yeah that's right it's still an inferior spec!!

    How can you compare a S60 Diesel to a V70 T5, compare a S60 T5 to the V70 T5 (both with the same options) and that would be a fair comparison, it's like comparing a 854 10 valve and a 855 T-5R and saying all 854's are inferior (which they are )

    There's a button on the dash for making the rear headrests fold down to give you a better view out of the back window. When you press the button they come down with a fair force. Ideal if you have misbehaving kids in the back. One button press and there would be silence he he

    Ours too, and a bottle/bin bag holder in the back, oh and reversing sensors. To be fair to James, when he said inferior, he was probably referring to Sharkey's, as he has the poverty spec model.

    Blah blah blah. I don't need reversing sensors as I can park. Although I do have a reversing camera now.

    Rubbish, you've got it to make it more like a lorry, which would explain why you never drive over 56 mph.
