First time poster. Apologies if this has been covered, I have used the search extensively and could not get a definitive answer. I have to hit the "Finalize" button in the next 3 weeks and I need help! I test drove the P85 and it was fantastic, however, it is outside of my price range. Of the 3 non perf the 60 has the perfect range for my daily 50mi commute, but I don't know how to handicap the performance of the S60 from the test drive I had.
My previous cars used for commute (up and down the West Side Hwy, for those familiar with NYC) were a 911, a Cayenne S, an A6 and a TT (2.0). What I love about the TT is that it is light and very quick, allowing me to dart in and out of traffic and being able to eat up gaps quickly. The TT has gotten too small for me so I have to get another car, but could wait a couple of months for the Tesla. However, the other car that would be a really good fit for me is the S4.
So I would like to hear from other actual S60 owners how your car compares in term of acceleration and speed to S4 comparable ICE cars. I love the design elegance of an electric car and Tesla seems to have done a fantastic job, but if I get beaten by an S4 on the West Side Highway, I'm going to be bummed...
