Used 2006 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews
Two Strikes You Are Out
After 8 months and 11 service calls Volvo replaced my first S60R Lemon. The second S60R I received this year. I am sorry to say this car was also a lemon. The wheel bearings went out, rear tail lights went out, it burned 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles, the chassis started to loosen up after 6000 miles. I just got rid of the car and took a financial hit, but I was tired of driving a loaner more than the actual car. DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE (unless you want to know your service people very well)
Reliable, Safe & Sporty
No complaints...so far...I've only had the auto for two weeks. It has unexpected power for a 5-cylinder and everyone seems to think it's very stylish

....good value
When the lease on my Saab 9-3 recently expired I researched available replacements. The "usual suspects" from Japan, Germany and Sweden.... The Volvo S-60T met my needs. We have owned 3 Volvos in the past and have been satisfied. The combination of features, adding the Luxury and Sport packages, and price incentives at the time of lease, were not matched by the competition. Front seat comfort is exemplary , rear seat legroom is tight, though the seats themselves are comfortable. The handling is excellent, ride comfortable and fit and finish is flawless. After one month I am thoroughly satisfied.
Not the best, not the worst
I was sitting at a red light behind 2 cars when a 27 year old woman (on the cell phone, looking over her shoulder) slammed into the back of me going 45, again I was at a dead stop. The impact sent me into the car ahead and broke my seat (Volvo safety design, break-away front seats). The Honda Insight which hit me square on the back bumper was totaled, and unless you looked at the rear deck of the Honda, you wouldnt know what it was that hit me. The Volvo trunk, bumper was smashed back to the rear wheels and some damage was found in the bracing, not the frame. The car wasnt totaled since the damage was about 24K and the value was north of 32K. The main thing was I walked away!
S60 Turbo, 2005
I was planing to buy a BMW 325i and had test drove it, but before buying it I test drove a S60 2.5T(Turbo). I loved this car. It had great power, all the goodies and by far a better deal. I bought it on the spot and would not change my decision.
