Simply a great car
Our 2001 Volvo S60 now has just over 12000 miles and we absolutely love the car. Having tried many others before we purchased the Volvo - I am 100% satisfied that the quality, looks, and performance of the S60 is better than just about everything in its class.
spend the money get the t5
great car, but a little slow on the pick up get the t5
Beauty lasts so long
The car rides comfortably. The seat grabs your body and makes for great long trips. The exterior is well designed. The trunk is full of space and I've moved several times with the car. Rear passengers are really comfortable. The two plugs are great. Other than that the car is a pain. Things that shouldn't ever go bad, go bad on the model. I've changed the brake booster and front suspension and O2 sensor. It would have been nice if the O2 sensor had lasted a bit long. The repairs are really pricey too. The stock stereo is plagued, either the speakers blow easily or the stereo gets tired of your music. My heart wants a new Volvo but my mind knows a reliable cheaper to fix car might be better.
Great Value
AWD is a great value. Picked it up at the factory in Sweden. Very good overseas delivery program, which the VW group lacks. A computer chip failed at about 7k miles; drivable, just lit up faulty warning lights. Fixed under warranty. Currently over 17k miles, no other troubles, except I can't reset the "regular service" reminder, as I change the oil etc myself. Have the optional cupholder with no trouble. AWD is very sure footed in snow/ice. Love the interior, except the parking brake should be moved over a bit for more leg room. Giant trunk and decent gas tank size(check out a BMW, for much more money, on these details!) Hope to get an R as our second one.
Fun, comfort, annoying quality issues
Exceptional value for the price. Styling, comfort, safe and firm feel all make this a pleasure to own. We did experience many problems that were annoying, but the overall experience overshadows the design and quality shortfalls. I am considering a newer (2007) S60 AWD purchase and will likely keep this one for my daughter to use. Front wheel drive was just adequate in snow. Next time I'd buy AWD. Transmission shift problem required three dealer visits to fix during early warranty period. Fuel filler door broke off. Headlamps and tail light bulbs constantly burn out.
