Engine/tranny response, I didnt get to drive it hard around any corners as there werent really any so I cant comment about the handling. The turbo motor wasn't that bad and didnt seem to lag too badly although at times in the upper RPMs it felt a bit sluggish.

Weren't really looking for a performance car per se. The S60 would have sufficed - like I said, it was for my mom...
