Used 2005 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews
Moving Out
I've got the 6-speed manual R version which are extremely rare- found only two in the entire L.A. metropolitan area- 100 miles in all directions! Only complaint so far (I've only driven it 1,000 miles) is that it has a tremendous thirst for gas and I'm not racing in the quarter mile on a daily basis! I'm told it improves as the engine gets more broken in-I certainly hope so. 16.5 miles per gal. avg.-
"Professional" reviewers are harsh
The S60 is a very solid vehicle, with a few drawacks. If you are not ready for a 5 series (or equivalent) and beyond the 3 series, there are few alternatives that compare with the S60. The ride is great, the styling is solid and Volvo design touches are like none other. On the negative side, the fuel economy in the city could be better (I get 14- 17 unless I seriously monitor my acceleration), the back seat has limited leg room and I don't know what they were thinking with the key placement. The highway mpg (Over 30 mpg if driven smoothly) and interior comfort make getting in this car for a road trip a real pleasure.
My Volvo
The only thing i don't like about my car is it gets stuck in the snow, other then that its a great car.
Volvo S60
This is my second S60 and I like this one as well as my first one. It is a very comfortable car to drive, well built, and handles nicely. The s60 is the best car I've ever had.

We are very happy with the non turbo S60 California version Volvo. Sport seats, 17" tires, 5 sp auto, etc. Looks good, runs good, quick on take off, fits my 6'5" frame, built like a tank, good decision, and it is owned by Ford so we dont feel bad sending jobs off shore.
