I Love My Volvo

I had a 1997 Lexus ES300 and it was a great car. After the Lexus, I purchased an Infiniti G35 Coupe, which was fun to drive, but very uncomfortable, and a terrible car to do the commute to work everyday. I wanted to go back to a sedan, but also wanted something a little sporty. I feel as though the new Lexus ES 330 looks like a tub. I also checked out sedans from Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but they were way too expensive. Then I looked at the Acura TL which was nice, but it had cheesy fake wood and didn't have an upscale feel to it. Finally I tried the Volvo S60. As soon as I drove it I knew I was going to buy it. It is the perfect combination of sport and luxury! Its seats are so comfortable. It has a great sound system, AWD, and a beautiful leather and walnut interior. Do yourself a favor and check this car out!

This is a great car! I am only 18 but I love my parents for getting me it, what can I say, were a volvo family. My dad has the s80 and the s60r brings the sport back to volvo. I also have an 2000 s70 glt which is fun, but doesnt compare. I only wish I had gotten manual.... except in those traffic jams

Have you ever tried to see what station is on your radio on a bright sunny day? Mission impossible. Same for the temperature and time. Very poor design I think. As comfortable and better handling than the Lincoln.

Overall, I love my new car. Although, I had a tire blowout before I had it a week. A truck through something up and punctured a tire. The roadside assistance was wonderful. They sent someone to change the tire and I was back on the road in about 50 min.

My new 2005 Volvo S60 2.4 is a solid, well built sedan. There seems to have been a big improvement in styling and features since Ford purchased Volvo. This car is as good as my daughter's BMW for a lot less money.
