I assume the S60 is predominantly a fwd setup and some 4wd version?? I do prefer Rwd on saloons.
You can get AWD versions of the S60, but mostly in the states. In the UK the 300bhp S60R is the only AWD version you'll find if I recall.

If I were you, I'd just buy a MK2 Focus ST as it has literally the same engine as a C30 T5, and it feels so much more engaging to drive. Steering it is enjoyable, whereas in the C30 T5, the steering is just so numb, you cant feel anything, so you end up always putting your foot down just to feel something from the car to make up for the lack of steering feel.
