It just cant be over-stated how important the test drive is.
I was sold on it, I didn't even care, but as soon as I drove it? I just didn't love it. And its a lot of money to spend on something you just dont like.
And I agree and disagree with you to a point. If the sales guy is good and comes along on the test drive, sometimes thats good. He can show you things and features you might not have been aware of or know how to use, but if they spend the whole time doing a full-court hard-press? No bueno.
There are places that'll give you 24 hours with it and I think thats good. It gives you time to decide on whether you love it or not.
Cars are a lot of money. IMO...you have to love it.

We have a Volvo SUV and it's awesome! Your car tastes are weird though....we have a Tiguan which is almost gone, and it's miles below the Volvo in every aspect.

The S60 is a great car. I had one and I had no issues with maintenance or reliability. I'm a flat-tire magnet, but other than that, it was just regular maintenance.
