Used 2005 Volvo S60 R Consumer Reviews

Well Kept Secret

I have owned 3 M3's (95,98 and 02, also a 540 6sp. I was shopping for a used M5 when I stumbled across this car. Some complain about handling, road feel, etc, but after a couple dcays driving I have gotten used to the awd and turbo. This car is every bit as enjoyable to drive as my 02 M3 for about 20K less. Build quality is better. Car is definitely faster than the 95 or 98 M3 and darn close to the 02. I got my 05 \with every option except NAV for 11K off sticker. Also drove the lexus is350 and infinite m45. Prefer the volvo. GREAT CAR.

R for Racing

This is the 2nd Volvo R I have purchased. It drives smoothly and has good balance. If you drive on rough roads this isn't the car for you. If luxury, safety and performance are of concern, look no further. The Automatic is significantly slower than the manual - absolutely take the aero package. This car gets more looks than Pamela Anderson - Enjoy.

S60R Fun

This car is incredible to drive, the speed and handling make it an absolute joy, whether you are going to get groceries or just going out for a little fun!

Early life crisis

I needed a car that was a bit more pretentious than my Mercedes. At my age and a sales career I needed something more responsible looking. The volvo fit that perfectly. I wanted a toy that was fast and fun to drive.... This car has been perfect from the get go. Add some goodies and before I knew it, I had a 600 hp monster on my hands. (463 to the wheels)

Fun Car

The car is extremely fun to drive. It has the most comfortable seats that I've ridden in. I've had a couple of little problems but nothing keeping me from recommending this car. The back seat is a little tight.

Smiles Every Day

This car has two personalities: casual cruiser, all-business performer. I have done two 8-hour+ trips in this car and arrived fresh. But on tight curves or in tough traffic, change the suspension and it will deliver. Sport and advanced settings deliver good road feel. No torque-steer noticed on hard acceleration. Brakes are excellent. I love entering the highway from a standing start...then glancing in the mirror. My mileage is a few MPG's above rated. Parktronic is a must-have, and watch the blind spot off the left. Winter road grip (w/ snow tires) is rock solid. Manual shifter takes practice, but is smooth. No mechanical problems.

Great Car

I commute 100 miles/day round trip to work and this car makes the drive fun. Passing on the tollway is easy and the interior is nicely designed and comfortable.
