Used 2006 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews
Stealthy Pocket Rocket
My wife wanted this car because its low profile, but great looking. I think it's super quick with the automatic; feels a lot quicker than an '05 demo I drove last year and faster than the spec. Great seats, and the adjustable suspension really works. So far, it's been problem free for 5 months. Good price: $37K for automatic with some packsges(amounted to $300 over invoice AND less $2250 incentive.) We may have gotten the last one for while, since it doesn't look like Volvo will make an '07 R and there's talk of dropping the S60 altogether. Looked at TL (too common and FWD), G35 (didn't feel as confident to drive or as quick), Mustang GT, (too banal), Maxima (FWD, etc, etc.), Audi...
Owner Remorse apparently "For Life"
1st Volvo I've owned. Purchased new, touring/sport, leather, premium sound and appearance packages. Too many rattles at first, spare tire won't stay put and the fit/finish horrible. At 2 1/5 years and 50K small things self-destructing. Window motor switches faulty, sunroof shade guides broken and several interior harness and panel fasteners breaking. Dealer is not help and factory refuses to stand behind their product - unwilling to deliver customer care. Ready to dump it and not look back.

My S60 Saved My Life
05 S60 AWD. Spun last weekend on black ice. No time to brake. 65mph into wire retaining guardrail. Absolutely no injury expect a glass shard in my hand. The retaining wires stopped 6 inches from my head. The EMTs, Police, Fire, Insurance Adjuster and Autobody man all stated. If you were in anything but a Volvo you would have been decapitated!! I pick up my used 06 S60 FWD next week. Don't opt for AWD, slight jack up in rear gives funky handling, less mileage, more to go wrong, and noticible front to rear and back power transfers.
Love It!
I absolutely love my car. As soon as I set foot in it, I knew it was meant for me. I stopped my search immediately. It drives wonderfully and I feel so safe in it. Also, the people at Volvo are so helpful and on top of it. From the dealership to the customer service phone line, they have impeccable service. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase of this car.
Great Car !!
The car is great. Where I live you don't see many Volvo's so we get lots of heads turning. The car rides smooth as has plenty of power, the seats or the most comfortable I have sat in.
