Hey all, I am new here and recently got into a wreck with my other car. I am looking at a 2001 s60 or a 2003 s40. Both Turbos. Any advice you can give about purchasing/not purchasing/which you would reccomend and what I can expect from them? for reference, I am coming from a 2000 Mercedes c280 sport. Thanks all!

Awesome. Now, which trim are the S40 and the S60? Depending on the trim, you've got either a low pressure turbo or a high pressure turbo. I don't know much about the S40...but I'd get the 2.4T, 2.5T, T5, or R if I were you. The 2.4T has the lowest amount of horsepower and the R has the most. The R also has the most standard features.

Also, if you're over...oh say...5'10"...you might want to go with the S60 or you're probably going to feel very cramped in the S40.

 

S60 hands down.

 

Hi there
I have an S80 2003 and couple of times when it was at the dealer for repair they gave me the S40t as a loaner car...it was the fastest car I ever drove..like the guy said if you're under 6' it's a little tight but fast..really fast..watch for the cops..just got a speeding ticket.
