Used 2003 Volvo S60 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.
2002 Volvo S60
Having driven pickup trucks for the past 20 years this Volvo S60is quite a change. So far I have put 45,000 miles on the vehicle in 9 months. During cross country trips from Southern California to Northwest Wisconsin my gas mileage averages 34.2mpg! This car is fun to drive, handles well and has not had any defects.
S-60 AWD give it a look
I tested the Audi A4, Acura TL,BMW 325, all good cars, but I found the Volvo to be the best all around. Although I only have 1k miles on the car, I am very pleased with my decision. Plenty of pick-up, very comfortable seats, well thought out interior, decent ride,handling,and braking. In my opinion one of the better looking exterior designs in it's class. I would definately recommend. With the $4,500 "rebate", you'd be hard pressed to find a better bang for the buck.
