Replacing 05 C230K with new Volvo S60R

Might be replacing/trading in my stock 05 C230 Kompressor SS (first car) for a new Volvo S60R soon. What do you guys think? Suggestions? Has anyone had any prior experience with the volvo? The thing I dont like about the w203 is that it lacks power, and is a bit harsh for everyday driving. The Volvo is very luxurious and provides AWD as well as 300+HP stock (2.5L T). The Volvo is also much more mod-friendly, an ECU chip alone will give 50+ HP depending on the company. Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated, thanks!

I don't know how Volvo rates with reliability these days (I heard they're a lot better), but for personal preferences, I'd get the Volvo! I mean, it's almost better in every way than the C230SS.
