Used 2005 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews
Terrible can for snow weather
I bought the car with the sports package, what a mistake!!! I live in New York city. With all the potholes and the snow, I have already had two flat tires and two rims replaced, all in the 4 months I own the car!!! I don't recommend the sports package for anyone living in the northeast and drive on roads with a million potholes.
Decent Car for price range
Issues I have with the car is that the steering radius is the worst I've ever experienced, visibility from driver's seat isn't the greatest due to car's design that causes blind spots, can't select specific songs to be played on iPod, mileage for city driving is poor (I get about 180-200 miles per tank). Very basic interior, so I purchased for a wood trim kit in an attempt to give it a little luxury. Steering on my car is pretty tight (which I like), but I've driven other S60s that had way too much power assist. Evidently something about the model I have made it tight, thankfully. If the 3 series BMW had front wheel drive, and the rear seats folded, I would have bought it instead.

A Pleasure To Drive
This is a really attractive vehicle -- a real looker -- in my opinion. It is aerodynamic and ergonomic, and drives as nice as it looks. Doors close with a reassuring thunk, the steering is predictable yet responsive, there is power to spare, and the seats are more comfortable than any chair in my home.
