Thought I'd do an update as it's coming up to 1 year that I've owned the £700 S60 2.4T automatic.
Things I've spent money on (as in had to pay someone to work on the car, not just buy the item):
-1 coil pack (£225)
-tyres all round (£215)
-new front brakes and discs, front wheel bearing (£483)
-boot lock replacement (£190 including sorting out a temporary fix) (the temp fix is perfectly secure but very inconvenient hence spending a not-100%-necessary £160 of that to properly fix the problem)
-MOT (£50)
So I've essentially paid for another car but at least I know everything's fine for another year. (I might still have to pay for all that stuff on a replacement car.)
Might get rear pads sorted (not needed yet, not even mentioned on MOT) and get the oil replaced in the gearbox as it's got minor flare.
Not sure whether to bother getting it serviced or scrap it at the end of 2016.

I thing "nothing good" is probably the most honest answer I can give.

Do I mean highly geared? What I mean it revved very high in top - is that low geared? ;hehe:
