Got rid of a sweet car, Volvo S60 R. Black with atacama/orange interior. Just wanted to save some $$$ with the GS but still have good performance.

I had an 2001 I30, never had any problems outta that car. But it was lacking in the performance department.

Wow!! Surprisingly there are a few people out there with Mustangs and Cobras who made the switch. I happen to be one of them also. I had a silver 01' Cobra that I sold to get the GS. It was moderately modified and that thing only got about 13MPG mixed driving. The GS400 has a much more refined feeling of power and gets me 22MPG mixed driving! What an improvement! It could be due to the fact that the Cobra was modded and also had 4.10 gears. I like having a sedan now. It is much easier to get in and out of. The Cobra/Mustang backseats are terrible. Anybody over 5 feet tall would have to sit back there uncomfortably.
