Used 2005 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews
Be Careful
I have a love/hate relationship with my R. I love the power, the styling, and the interior (especially the atacama leather). However, the turning radius is horrible. Can rarely complete a U-Turn without making it a 3-point turn. Also, if you live in snow country, THIS IS NOT THE CAR FOR YOU. While it performs OK in the snow, the low profile tires and wheels are no match for potholes. I have already blown 3 tires and bent 2 rims. It's no fun driving if you have to be totally stressed looking for potential (yet covered) potholes. I'm trading mine in.
S60 is the car to have
WOW! This is the best purchase that I have done. I feel extremly safe and if I had the money I would buy another volvo for my wife. One of the reason's that I bought this car is for its safety feaures.

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.
Sporty!
I just purchased my 2005 S60R with 6 speed MT. This car is fast, well balanced and very fun to drive. The turning radius is my biggest complaint so far but outside of that, the car has met my expectations which were pretty high. In addition to the great performance, the seats were a major selling point- very comfortable and good looking.
Awesome car!
A blast to drive--can handle sharp turns at high speeds, great acceleration at all speeds and very comfortable seats. Turns heads as well, people comment on it to me all the time and are shocked that it's a Volvo. (got the Sports package with the wheels, rims and spoilers) Test drove the Audi S4, new Lexus GS300 and BMW 5 series before deciding on the S60R. Others were great cars, but the S60R's combo of performance, looks, price and uniqueness won me over. Great car!
