More specs and safety features/ratings

Fuel capacity: 70L

Was covered under extended warranty to 160,000 km

All service records available

Recent repairs: timing belt (at recommended 168,000 km); alternator, front brakes, PCV system

This car still has the smooth ride (especially with the summer tires) and excellent handling referenced in the review linked above. A pleasure to drive. Upgrading to 2006 S60 in order to get steering wheel control of radio/CD player.

(And I'm a bit of a digital geek.)
