S60 Might Just be the Smart Alternative to BMW 330 or Mercedes C-240

Pros Comfortable, spacious sedan with plenty of power and performance
Cons Minor nits
Recommended it? Yes

I don't know why I never looked at Volvos seriously before. Maybe it was their perpetually ugly designs which always managed to look like rolling boxes. Or maybe it was the image I had in my mind that a Volvo customer was always a well-off suburban mom who bore an uncanny resemblance to Hillary... Read full review »

I recently bought this vehicle from a nephew who bought it new, but finally threw in the towel at 105k after spending over $17,000 on maintenance over his 9 years of ownership (not including tires/gas, etc.).I figured it would probably have a lot of "cheap miles" left in it after the care it had...

Never been dissappointed with Volvo. Though friends
have laughed at the boxy appearance Volvo has had,
the latest trends in volvo design have been to develop
a sleeker, more sporty feel.

Currently Volvo is trying to appeal to the younger set,

I own two 2001 Volvo S60's.  Both of these were purchased used at very reasonable prices, one with 59K miles for $10,500 and one with 83K miles for $9,000.  As an owner with three Volvo's currently (including a 1997 850) and the two 2001 S60's, I am considering abandoning the brand due only to...

I love my s60 T5! I bought this car 6 months ago, It drives perfectly and is so comfortable. All my friends envy me and have been swearing their next car is going to be a s60 after riding with me. We have the full package, and I must say that the seats are the most comfortable seats that I have... Read full review »

Pros Styling, Comfort, Power, Reliability.
Cons High Service Costs, Disappoints on Safety Ratings
Recommended it? Yes

Living in this country's "Snow Belt" has an influence on many of the major purchases one makes. For instance, I try to buy jackets that have an inner liner and an outer shell for the days when "you never know." Well, it is much the same way with my car purchases. I try to find something that will... Read full review »

Nice car, but not for everyone

Pros Sleek looking car with great luxury and safety features
Cons Sluggish performance, "mushy" handling and high price
Recommended it? Yes

I test drove several different S60s while I was car shopping in May/June 2001. One annoying thing I found was a shortage of these cars with manual transmission. I was told that there was simply no demand for manual.

While this might be the case, I found even the top-of-the-line T5 felt a... Read full review »

Pros so comfortable you may want to consider it your second home
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Volvo has been a benchmark for safety and reliability. Enter the S60. This classy sedan is molded like a coupe and is a far cry from the boxy Volvo of yore. The S60 is the sportiest in its family, which consists of the entry level S40 and the flagship S80

The all-wheel drive S60 comes in... Read full review »

I recently purchased a Volvo S60, 2.4 base model (options are automatic transmission & premium package). This is a beautiful car! It also is very enjoyable to drive. I test drove the 2.4T model also. It had noticeably more power when accelerating to get on the freeway, but I find the 2.4 to be... Read full review »
