Used 2003 Volvo S60 Sedan Consumer Reviews
What a fun car to drive !!!
Very strong and safe car.
AWD says it all
I purchased my 2003 S60 2.5T AWD December 2002. The winter of 2002/03 was the worst in decades. Snow. First time user of an AWD. The only cars on the road were snow plows, suv's, cars that people couldn't care less if they got into a wreck and my volvo. In wet or dry weather it is fun to drive. I like the body style, interior is nicely designed, dashboard and countor of the front panel gauges are attractive, geartronic is a must, good power and excelleration, ride is a little hard, the drivers seat is down to a science and it does not look like other cars on the road. Hey, if I win the lotto I'll get a Mercedes SL500, for now I'm happy with my Volvo.
If not for a couple of things...
A couple of things... After about 6 months the car loosened up a little. I have a rattle in the dash and a leather rubbing on leather sound coming from the back seat. Also, when opting to shift the geartronic transmision yourself, it isnt that responsive, which makes it less fun.
Ellen's review
I'm thrilled with the handling of y S60. It hugs the road & didn't slip in the ice. I feel very safe with the car, besides the fact that it's fun to drive. The driver seat is extremely comfortable too.
Good But Could be Great
The AWD S60 does deliver in looks, comfort and bad weather handling. Probably the best I've ever had in snow. Extremely comfortable and great amenities. Safety should be great. The car is reasonably fast and can corner extremely well. The Achilles heel is a strange suspension that wiggles and jiggles you to the point of distraction. Most small road variations get translated into movement within the car - sharp, annoying and fatiguing. Ultimately I am less confident at speed than in say the Audi A-4, which felt much more solid.
