What a surprise, a joy to drive

I did not head out to the car lot expecting to drive a Volvo home. I wanted a pre-owned, luxury vehicle that was somewhat practical and that would not break the bank. After looking at a few Jags I made a comment out loud about how surprisingly uncomfortable the Jag was to drive. From that comment the sales associate mentioned how comfortable the Volvos were to ride in. In a good mode and wanting to insure I considered all options I decided to allow the Volvo to be brought around for a test drive. My first word uttered once I sat in that drivers seat was 'wow'. Comfort is a rule when choosing Volvo. Now I have had the car a while I must say, what a value.
Great Car

Volvo is a great automobile company. If you are considering an A4, C-Class, IS300, 3-Series, it is another great alternative. Good performance, turbo is a lot of fun on the highway. Gas mileage is usually aroung 25 city 30- 33 highway (Depends how you drive). Interior is small in the back but i dont care because im the driver and it is awesome in the front. Interior is also very nicely appointed. Sound system rocks. Good car all around i have an ECU upgrade so that makes the car even more fun to drive.

This car is very solid and made me a Volvo believer from day one. Sadly I just traded her in for a domestic car. She only had 180k miles. I bought her used from a shady buy here, pay here dealer, a 14 year old car with 130k, but she got me to work everyday in the New England weather. She is to the point where things are breaking severely, but she just keeps chugging along. And I'm not joking. Brought to a mechanic to change my spark plugs once, and after he fixed it he refused to test drive it because how bad things were. He didn't want to "break it." Original timing belt barely holding on, Oil leaked everyday for last 2 years, clouds of smoke coming out exhaust going up hills, Brake lines rusting out, Weird jerk around 3rd gear that seemed to fix itself eventually over time. Not too sure if the airbags ever worked, Dashboard would just disappear for days at a time.. No gas, speed, or any gauges for days. Then BOOM one day when it would rain, you would have dashboard. But then off again next day. But even with all that it starts and runs fine. Still a comfortable drive. PROS- Very comfortable seats and ride. Steel and body is amazing. Car is almost 18 years old, driven in harsh salted road winters and no body rust. (Original brake line just rusted out yesterday after 18 years.) I swear this 5cyl volvo engine would outlast everything in this car. Everything else eventually stops working around it. She loves cold weather and classical music.. I will miss her.

Researched and drove everything for 6 months. Able to buy 2001 S60 T5 in late December 2001 at great price. Love it. Great power, performance, comfort and style. First non-japanese car, but now a big volvo fan. Only 3000 miles now, but no problems. Feel very safe in this car.
a good allround car

I bought the 2002 s60 base model in 2003. This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. VERY SAFE! I worked for years in a trauma room and wanted a safe car and this is it. VERY comfortable too. Most comfy seats of ANY car! performance is fine for a comfort sedan, but its not a BMW, ppl! If u want a BMW sports car, but it. This is a comfort/safety car. VERY reliable. 6 years and NO problems! Upgraded foglights and headlights (replaced crappy ones with xenon). Luxurious, thick leather! Smooth, comfy ride. Feel safe, which u should in a volvo. Expensive maintenance, but well worth it. I am VERY happy with this. DO NOT buy the Turbo, u lose LOTS reselling it cuz they know u hotrodded it
