32 here and just ordered my first Volvo - an XC60 R Design Lux Nav. For the money & spec, couldn't find anything to top it. No kids, I just like bigger cars & more cabin space, plus Mrs OB likes the ride height.

Im 39 and have ordered a R design, the SE did nothing for me, so had they not have done a R design i would not be in a Volvo.

I nearly got a V60 4 years ago before my Audi A4, but the car felt small for a estate and a bit lethargic.

Just turned 56 and yesterday took delivery of a brand new XC60 SELux D5 auto (our third Volvo after a V70 and XC70) Twiglet with beige - I'd have preferred R-Design (for the suspension) but Mrs Cat (slightly older...!) doesn't like dark interiors - so now 4C seems dead I'll be forced into a more sedate driving style...

How do XC60 drivers regard V60 drivers ? I thought about buying an XC60 T6, but bought a V60 Polestar instead.

Dunno really - horses for courses, I guess.
I do know we can't help but look down on them when overtaking - except for a Polestar obviously!
I tried to persuade a friend to replace his outgoing S60 T5 with a V60 Polestar but he ended up with another S60 - a T3! - and same colour!
I guess with the T5 ending and him being a committed saloon man, plus company car tax issues, his choices were rather limited.
Just to keep it on topic, he's 57, btw...

Do 60+ year old XC60 owners ever buy something sensible like a V60 ?

I did, a V60 Polestar.

I'ts wonderful, it negates the desire to have a sporty car as an occasional car !

D5 AWD or CC ? It sounds like there were no (old) XC60s left to replace your deceased.
