Good on open highways, terrible ride on rougher roads. Great engine, but terrible car quality overall. Purchased new with 8K on odometer: * Before 30K miles: - Engine mounts broke - Black smoke from air.cond vents (on inspection Calabasas Volvo reported nothing found.. yeah right) - some air.cond fans no longer work - Radio sporadically changes station - Suspension bushings broke - Defrost broke - only does 1/2 window * Before 60K: - Transmission problems - takes 5+ secs to get in gear - Roof gutter-tracks paint is pealing - Plastic ext. trim is popping off - Plastic ext. trim quickly faded to light gray - Eng. mnts broke a 2nd time * much much more..

I have had this car for 3 and a half years now and have more gripes about it as it gets older. There are bright some bright spots but it accelerates slowly (i run the car on premium and use synthetic oil btw) really gets slow after about 80, and has so-so handling. The car has left me stranded twice, things that have broken on it: the key would not remove from the ignition (dealer said they've never seen this before), it's AC turns on by itself when the car is sitting for over 40 minutes with no keys in it (dealer replaced the whole fan and it did nothing), the right side blows hot air and left side blows cold air and the dealer can't seem to fix it, the gas panel door has fallen off etc...

Was A Great Car

We bought this car under the preowned program. Had 14K miles when we got it. The car was wonderful. Surefooted during nasty weather and handled well (it had the 17" wheels on it but not the sport package). Local dealer service was excellent and we were always treated like royalty everytime we were in. Unfortunately, the car was rear ended by another driver doing 45- 55 MPH while I was sitting at a dead stop waiting for the car in front of me to turn left. The cars was totalled but I walked away with minimal physical injuries and no whiplash despite the ferocity of the impact. The other dirver's insurance adjuster couldn't believe someone walked away from the crash. Buy one it could save you.
Ford Should butt out

This car has been in the family since it was brand new. It's a pretty nice car, but it's had a lot of silly little problems. In its lifetime, the wheel bolts rusted, the front bumper popped itself out of place. Just recently, went to get gas and when the attendant opened the fuel door it fell into his hand. This, from what I have seen, is a popular issue with S60s and V70s of this generation. The glove compartment door is now sagging, and the paint quality is very poor. Mechanically, the transmission seems a little screwy, causing the car to shake when you let go of the brakes after a complete stop. This is an awesome looking car, but unfortunetly it's a bit unrefined.

This car exceeds our expectations for style, utility and performance living at 7800' and driving through a variety of conditions. A great freeway flier, it leaps over the continental divide and has replaced our Grand Cherokee as the ski-mobile. Will take two pairs of skis (196cm or shorter) and poles through the trunk/rear seat pass through option.
