Thinking about getting one of these.

Anything I should specifically look out for?

How are these on the reliability ? I was thinking about getting the diesel version but went against it as I assume that these are more likely to go wrong than the fellow petrol versions.

Anyway, any experiences etc?

Petrol or diesel - you shouldn't have any reliability problems, if looked after properly. I have an S60 D5 and love it. Only downside to all S60's is the turning circle. There's quite a lot of it ! You just get used to choosing partking spaces a bit more carefully. Best seats in the business, though. Enjoy.

I've got the V70, which must have the same turning circle...parking is always a challenge. Makes you improve you're reverse parking technique though!
