Default New to volvo anything to look out for

So I just leased a 2006 volvo s60 AWD turbo model. So far I love the car I'm coming from a 2002 mercedes C320 that I had a horrible experience with. But ever since I got my volvo s60 I'm loving It but are there anything I should look out for in the future of having a volvo. Also what's the difference between the S40,S60,S80 model witch one is the top of the line luxury sedan?

You leased a 2006 model?

The difference between the S40, S60, and S80 is size. The S40 being compact, S60 mid-sized, though still fairly compact, and the S80 technically a full sized car. In the world of "bigger is better" the S80 is the top of the line.

As for what to look out for, the guy who leased you a 2006 model.

Hilarious response.

As with all European cars, you should look out for paying mechanics a lot of dough. They're all pretty much like that. They're easy to fix, and honestly parts are not all that expensive. The problem is just that mechanics who work on them charge more. The older they get, the more suited they are to someone who wants to fix them himself. Your car is still "young" in that regard.

As you probably can see, even a 2006 S60 is an extremely complex car.
