My 2003 Volvo S60 is the 2nd out of the best cars I have ever owned,other than my Beamer, that I can honestly say I would buy another one in a heart beat. THIS CAR SAVED MY LIFE!! I bought it with 125,000 on it never had major engine problems or transmission, except for a little slip every now and then. It was exspensive to fix but it was so worth the performance, handing, smooth ride, and most of all the safety. Everything about this car was great. I would recommend this for anyone, especially for a teenager or new driver. I wrecked this car and flipped it 4 times and then slammed into a tree on the driver side. I walked away with a seatbelt mark on my kneck and didn't even need to go to the hospital. After this wreck my car was fully intact with all trim, headlights and tailights, and the front and rear bumper. The only damaged was all the windows were busted and the top was dented as well as the doors.. The frame of this vechile saved my life. The frame stayed fully in place without any damaged at all. AMAZING. They engineered this car perfectly and I would sell my BMW (which I bought this Volvo after I had my BMW and currently still driving the Beamer) and buy another Volvo if I didn't love it so much. 100% recommend a Volvo if your looking to buy one!!!

BAD IN THE SNOW

I have owned 4 volvos. The s-60 being the 4th for my 18 year old daughter. I have owned mercedes,porches,and bmws. Volvos by far have always been more economical in my eyes. They do not have the power but they offer the protection. HOWEVER, I do not recommend using the s60 in the snow. My daughter got stuck 3 times in the past 3 snow storms that Connecticut had. The car gets no traction, slides from side to side is not a safe snow vehicle. I made a huge mistake by not buying the AWD s60, it is a DEFINITE must because this car cannot handle snow! She also complains that the heated seats are not warm enough.

I just got my S60 after driving an Audi A6 and there is no looking back. This car is beautiful, drives like a dream and has a very comfortable interior. It's a great choice.

A great deal, a beautiful car, very comfortable front seats (back is a little small) and smooth ride. Previously owned a Camry and looked at Avalon, Acura TL and Volvo. Volvo's quality, styling, and comfort won hand's down.

Being a newcomer to Volvo, I was guilty of stereotyping the brand based on its prior conservative looks. Once inside the cabin, I was impressed with the build quality and comfort of the front seats. The interior layout is ergonomically friendly and the choice of materials and surfaces are attractive and sporty (the wood is a great touch!). All of that on top of eye-catching exterior styling and enough 'zip' to surprise many BMW and Mercedes owners at stop lights.
