The stealth car... Rather the car no one knows about.

was stunned when I test drove it and several moments told Gary the Carmax sales man." I like this I like it a lot, I think I'm going to take this home with me tonight." So I took it home. I have no problems with this vehicle other then the leg room in the back for passengers. But since I rarely ever drive anyone else it's no big problem.

I did a lot of searching before buying this car. I've owned a BMW 5-Series and a MB E500. The S60 competes very well, without the snob factor and high price. I bought a Certified Pre-Owned and it looks brand new! Can't beat the price and the warranty. The dealership is great, so far. I'll add another post after I've had more experience with the car and dealer.

Better than my BMW

This car is truly underrated. I traded in a BMW 330i equipped with both sport and premium packages. The S60 is not as quick off the line, nor does it handle as sharply as the 330i, but excels in every other way. More comfortable, quieter interior, better sound system, more efficient climate control and from my experience, a far better build quality. My back seat passengers are also happier with the room and comfort, along with the rear A/C vents. Driving long distance is effortless as you ride in complete comfort, cruising with the fastest traffic and getting 30 MPG. One thing this car does not do is draw unwanted attention. The S60 T5 may be the world's most perfect "stealth" vehicle.

I bought this car this November and I absolutely LOVE it! I planned on getting 2006 BMW 325xi and was very impressed with it, but there was something missing. The Volvo dealership was across the street so I ventured over to take a look at the S60. After test driving the S60 I fell in love with it. It drives with such a well balance of performance and luxury that is just incomparable for the price. I was given nearly $2700 off the msrp of $38,885..BMW wasnt going to give me anything off(b/c its a new a highly desirable car they said.. haha..they lost a not so BMW 325xi desirable customer) The Magic Blue is an absolute beauty..although it's difficult to keep clean..and the sport pkg.is a must!

Company S60

My company provided me the S60. If it were my money, I would not buy one. It is fine on highways with blistering acceleration and comfortable seats. The S60 is not good on curves and in corners -- its weight and vague steering adversely influence the handling. After 9500 miles, the only problem I have had is a loose passenger side door seal, fixed at the 7500 mile oil change service.
