2006 Volvo S60 T5 Special Edition 4dr Sedan (2.4L 5cyl Turbo 5A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

Bought this vehicle to fit this criteria, fuel efficient/fun to drive comfortable, stylish and moderately priced. I enjoy driving it, even if it is not super sporty, it is very comfortable, and gets good gas mileage. I got 31 hwy averaging about 70-75 on my latest 3000 road trip, around town I get about 25. I bought a 06, Special edition with all the bells and whistles to include nav, bi- zenon, ect., and paid 34. Beemer would have been 45, no contest if you ask me, and as far as the bmw, this handled ALMOST as good on my twisty road into work, and ALMOST as fast, but I like the interior better. If you need to pay for a name/image get the bmw, if you are past that get this.

I bought a Volvo s60 T5 for the its safety rating, and it delivered. I was recently in a horrific car accident whilst driving this vehicle and my son and I were able to walk out of the car. The front end was completely smashed in. This car was so reliable, and it performed as if it came off the lot that day. The seats are hands down the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. When Volvo says, "Volvo for Life," they aren't kidding. This car saved my life, and I will always choose Volvo. I cannot wait to get another one.

I searched many months for a car and my decision came down to the Volvo and the Acura TL. I love this Volvo - it's quick, FUN to drive, yet has a feeling of sophistication and sexy! This car feels like it's floating on the road - watch your speedometer - you'll be at 90 mph before you know it. This car is comfortable and well appointed. Leg room in the back is a little tight, but I rarely have rear passengers so no problem. I drive about 80% highway and consistently get 27-28 mpg.

2006 Volvo S60 R 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)

Love driving this car! I bought one with Geartronic and all options except nav. My other car is a 99 Boxster and it is going to spend a lot of time in the garage now. The bad is the temp sensor went out the first weekend I had the car. Remains to be seen if reliability will dull my enthusiasm for the car I enjoyed test driving more than the A4 3.2 Quattro and 330xi.

Volvo S60R, 2006

This S60R has had chronic suspension and alignment problems such that all 4 tires were cupped after 6000 miles. Of the 4 tires, the right-rear tire has the worst cupping. Attempts by the dealer to fix problem were not initially pursued and are now reluctantly pursued. Ongoing
