Mixed bag

Was willing to pay extra, but should've paid attention. Features made way more sense in my S70, which was totaled. Loud road noise, no pre-set radio station buttons, clock and odometer off when key is off, big blind spots, transmission slips, door locks are slow & no choice of lock or unlock on door control - dumb! Has been in the shop over 10 times for transmission & a/c. Seatbelt chokes driver - cannot adjust. Even new wipers skip and squeal. Zippo rear leg room.

Great Car With Slight Problems

I purchased a certified used S60 from the dealer and have enjoyed the car from the beginning. It is slightly under powered but pick up is adequate and gas mileage is excellent- averaging 28 mpg to date. Interior is nice with the exception of the cheap plastic door handles. They squeak when your knee even brushes up against them. Stereo is great- especially with the controls on the steering wheel. My only real problem so far is with the bulbs on the car. I've had to replace two rear bulbs and to front lamps in 6 months. I had the daytime running lights turned off and hopefully that will help. With the warranty though, I haven't paid a dime.

Fun Car!!

I bought a Volvo S60 2.4T in Aug. 2002 with premium package, sport package, and touring package. This is a fun car to drive. I never thought I would buy a Volvo, but I really love this car. It has nice pick- up. The interior is very stylish. My only complaints are: with a 3 year old the back seat is small, the tires wear down quick (15,000) and are expensive, and I had a problem with an RPM sensor but Volvo fixed it in 2 days and provided a rental car. Overall, I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a fun sports car!

Solid Car and Fun to Drive

Steering and braking are excellent and have spared me from at least two accidents. Love the acceleration and handling at highway speeds. Leather interior is comfortable and has stood up exceptionally well to the wear and tear of two young boys. Will definitely buy another Volvo but only after this one wears out.

Tromp on the gas peddle and you'll fly by many cars. The turbo lag is annoying, as it the slow shifting "tiptronic", but on a straight line, once the turbo kicks in, look out. My only issue is with handling around corning - too much power and chassis needs to be tuned to handle the power of the car. Excellent design, not a fancy electonic stability system, should be the force behind handling. The interior is, quite frankly, flawless. The most comfortable and well designed car on the market.
