The Jaguar XE, the Lexus IS250 and the Volvo S60 are competitively packaged and desirably styled. Which of these will reign as queen of our hearts?

Most Unrealiable & Frustrating Car I ever Own! Volvo S60 `
Speaking as a Volvo user, a S60 T4, the car has been extremely unreliable. Nightmare driving it. My car in the 4th year, had a major engine breakdown & needed replacement. Before that, there were cases of engine oil leaks, changes of gaskets etc. After the engine was replaced, immediately, the clutch totally failed and needed total replacement. And shortly after, the gearbox failed and needed total replacement, all within a short 1.5 years! Basically, I went back around 10 times and the longest that I have to leave the car there is around One to one and half months. It was a nightmare, totally painful.

You would buy it for the T5 engine . `
Having owned cars for the past 15 years and having my last car as a Lexus , I found this car after trying out 10 cars in the market with budget of $150K to $180K.

I could find better choices `
My wife and myself are looking to get a new car to replace our VW Jetta. Thus we chance upon S60. The drive is smooth, but the space within the car is not the most spacious compared to other cars. However, having said that, the car is generally quiet when driving on the road. Personally would not recommend this car for Family oriented people.

Big hopes but disappointing `
Test drove the T2 and car seemed very dated in terms of exterior and interior design. The only thing that looked with the times was a single strip of DRL lights other than that, it looked plain boring as everything was incandescent. Same boring language was carried into the cabin with yellow incandescent bulbs and the rocker switch was super ancient that made lots of noise just to switch on the lights. What really appalled me was how unrefined the ride was. As soon as I wanted to accelerate or overtake, the car juddered back and forth quite noticeably before it started to accelerate. Car seemed either under-powered and was struggling to keep-up with its weight or the gears were not tuned to a saloon car rather than it seemed like I was driving a overweight lorry. Gear changes were very obvious and unnerving. I had test drove easily about 15 cars during my search but by far the ride quality was the worst for T2. Had high hopes. Then again, could possibly be that the test car had probs but SE said that's natural..? What I liked about the car was the rear-pillar aircon vents, MEMORY SEATS (a must have in this day and age) and well cushioned seats. And my compliments stopped there. Did not try the T5 as I was in a hurry but I hope, its not as bad as the T2 judging from other reviews. SE was accommodating and polite. Hope, that Volvo will up their game in this segment and bring about the awaited updates that this car so desperately needs. Price wise, rather steep for something that seems dated with poor ride quality.
