Pretty Nice Sedan

Bought this used through a dealership specializing in 'low mileage/one owner cars'. The car is one owner- a leasee in a suburb of Chicago. As to low miles, the CarFax said 16,200 when I bought it so unless it was tampered with, that is what it was. This car excels on the highway; plenty of power, quiet, comfortable. In town it is a little less agreeable, mostly because the suspension is a bit more stiff than it should be. Mileage has been excellent for a car with this power- 24 in all-purpose driving, over 30mph strictly highway. Leather seats very comfortable, the radio is nice, auto climate control works great. No major complaints but overall the car is less luxurious than I desired.

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.

I bought my 2006 Volvo S60 2.5T new. This was my second Volvo, fell in love when I had a Volvo rental for a week. My vehicle has 50,000 miles on it. I have changed the timing belt and tensioner, the tires and the battery, just because of the age, not due to any issues. I have had exactly zero mechanical issues with this vehicle. Due to the composite body panels, the car looks showroom new and I live in WI where winter road salt is death to vehicles. The door slams with a solid feeling. The seats are maximally comfortable. The vehicle feels solid and safe. Backseat is tight so not good as a family vehicle. Power is exceptional: there is a slight turbo lag and then the thing takes off like a jado unit. It is kind of funny to see the staid, solid, Swedish "refrigerator" (old term) leave others it it's dust. I love my Volvo and will probably keep it until I die. UPDATE: I purchased my S60 2.5T new in 2006. Now it's almost 2023, and I have 53,000 miles on it. I'm starting to replace things like the exhaust (rusted through due to road salt/WI winters,) and fluids, since I have not done any of that since I bought the vehicle. It has been rock solid, no mechanical issues at all, drives like a dream and is FAST. It looks like a grandma car, but grandma can beat almost anything off the line. That's kind of fun. And it feels solid with a nice "thunk" when you close the doors. And it's safe, as we all know. I wish I had some of the newer driver assist electronics, like a backup camera, but I'm a very experienced driver of 57 years with one speeding ticket (in the Volvo!) and no "at fault" accidents. So I've learned to compensate for some of the newer tech. I will sadly miss my Volvo (my second one!) when I go to a full electric vehicle by 2030.

I went from a Ford 500 (gutless) to the Volvo. Love to drive it - I am on the smaller side of size and it seems to be a good fit (seating etc). Didn't even test drive the T5, don't need that much zip while I drive. One note - I am surprised at the steering ratio - it really is not tight at all. Just had the first oil change @ 7500, all is well. Can't wait to move up to the C70 in a few years.
fun vehicle

I am the owner of a 2006 volvo S60 It is truly a fun vehicle to drive. Those who think it's slow and cumbersome should take the wheel and give it a good run for its money.. You will find that the 2.5T 5 cylinder engine and the auto transmisson will answer your every need. Be it speed to pass a car on a two lane hwy or just to feel the wind rushing by you
