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
Solid car. One of those cars that just keeps going

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.

This is a perfect car! Whether for an adult or for a teenager. We bought our car new in 2002 and it currently has 211k miles on it and it's still going strong. It currently has gone through three batteries(live in midwest with plenty of snow), one transmission and no other issues. (these aren't true issues just general maintenance stuff when its driven by two teenagers and myself. It has plenty of power to push through the Colorado snow and has wonderful handling. Great interior design for 2002 and it has plenty of tech that rivals with simple 2017 cars like the Ford focus. Sweden did well with this car. (i don't remember the price for the car so i just guessed)

I bought this car new and now at 76,000 miles, I am starting to have major problems with car: Front suspension ($1200), Trani ($4500). Very expensive to maintain. Would not buy another Volvo.
