always wanted one, my father had about 4 sapphires...ranging from the 1.6 to 2.o litre ghia version.

test drove a few of the cossies but all were severely abused by anyone i knew...which was a terrible shame.

I'm 33 and just purchased a 2010 S40 R Design that I'm absolutely, positively in love with!! Since I'm a newbie to these forums, this is also my first post here.

I bought the Volvo as a leisure vehicle to supplement my daily driver - a 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe. This was mainly due to the fact that my family just recently increased by one and installing a rear-facing car seat in the G was extremely difficult, if not impossible. The plan was to continue to use the G on a regular basis, and turn to the Volvo for family outings, grocery runs, and so on. But, alas! The Infiniti languishes in my garage while the Volvo's being used for EVERYTHING including daily driving. It's just such a pleasure to drive...

Even though I don't reside in the UK (or, for that matter, anywhere even close to the UK), I decided to register for these forums after reading the various opinions, concerns, and feedback that Volvo users continuously post. I reside in Dubai, U.A.E. but couldn't find anything remotely similar to volvoforums.org.uk...

Some photos of my S are attached. Would love some feedback!!

Just turned 32 - picking up my first Volvo this week, a '54-reg S60 D5 SE.

Moving from my beloved Seat Leon Cupra R 225 - needed something more economical and comfortable and it was between the Volvo and an ST Mondeo TDCi.... the Volvo won on the fact it has the S60R alloys and brake kit fitted, and it looked cooler ;)

Really looking forward to munching up the miles in comfort :)
