It sure is not at all plain when you see it in person. I did sit in an S60R a few months ago - it makes the W203's interior (which I like, BTW) pale in comparison. Nice thick leather steering wheel, perfectly ergonomical arrangement of controls and gauges, nice materials and fit.

There isn't any major difference between the R and normal Volvos besides the tachos

Volvo interiors are generally not too shabby
