This Year's Model Updates:

Last year's 2.4T model is now the 2.5T, with the same 208-horsepower engine as the AWD model. Bi-xenon headlights are a new option, while the sport package for the 2.5T includes speed-sensitive power steering.

Pros:
  • Superb comfort, wide variety of safety and luxury features, balanced ride and handling characteristics, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Handling lacks true sport sedan precision, expensive optional equipment, turbo lag and torque steer in the T5 model.

    Bought the car for my wife. We had previously leased a 2001 volvo XC70 but wanted to downsize, as I drive a Honda Pilot (great vehicle). The dealer offered me the S60, black with sport and premium packages for 28 K (sticker was 35). I took it for a test drive and was impressed.

    I have had 3 volvos,, they last, they are safe,, and now they are sporty and fast. This one turns heads. AWD is perfect in Colorado. A blend of a sporty car and a reliable sedan. I dont see anything else on the read that compares.

  • S60R Demands Respect - 2004 Volvo S60
    By -

    In recent years I have owned a BMW M3, Audi S4 and the Volvo S60R. This car can run with the best. The seats are Lazy Boy comfortable. The adjustable suspension lets you go from easy driving to hard sport driving with the push of a button. If you want to push this car, it will really go. The only complaints I have are the pedal location (gas and brake pedal are too close together for a size 11.5 shoe), some minor turbo lag, and the lack of a quality cup holder for your morning coffee. It is not as sporty as either the M3 or S4, but it has more room and daily driveability. I am very happy with my purchase.

    I loved this car from the moment I bought it. It drives smooth, fast and is gorgeous. I also recently experienced first hand how safe this car is. My husband and I walked away from a fairly serious accident, with only a bruise apiece. The front end was destroyed and still the doors opened just as easy as the first day I touched it. Unfortunately this car was totaled, but Ill be visiting my dealer very soon for a new one. Ill never buy anything else again.

  • Daddy needs some speed - 2004 Volvo S60

    I was looking for a performance sedan that can give me the thrill of high performance sport car, the safety of a family sedan and the advantage to drive it all seasons. I test drove the Audi A4 3.0 Quattro, Jaguar X & S Type, Infiniti G35x, Lexus IS300 and BMW 330XI. I didn’t have the opportunity to test drive the S60R however; I read all reviews on this vehicle and decided to take the chance on it. I brought the vehicle thru military sales and believe me; waiting for it was worth it. Excellent AWD handling, adjustable suspension, 6 speed, 300HP, comfortable seats, safety and good dry and wet road performance.

    The last two years of ownership were a joy. Great power, excellent design and workmenship similar to Japanese products.

  • I love this car! - 2004 Volvo S60

    I LOVE this car! It not only looks great but handles fantastically. The ride is smooth and the car stays hugged to the rode when going around turns. Volvo has made great design improvements with the very elegant exterior of this car. I hope they keep this style for a long time. The seats are extremely comfortable too.

    Just purchased this car from Garden State Volvo in Manasquan NJ who with David, my salesman gave me an amazing deal. I also own a Porsche Boxter but needed a winter car with AWD because of where I live. Much to my surprise this car goes like the devil! It must be the automotive industrys best kept secret, a safe, reliable car that goes way fast I have owned BMWs, Mercedes and Porsches and this is among my favorite! I can see a speeding ticket in my future

  • Wonderful car! - 2004 Volvo S60

    When my sporty new Tiburon was totaled, I didnt even think of Volvo until a coworker suggested it. I checked it out and took the S60 for a test drive. Man was I surprised! What I thought would turn out to be a "grandma car" was not just extremely comfortable, but was fun and sporty to drive as well. Safety was definitely a factor in my purchase decision because of my recent accident and Volvo has all the bases covered. The interior is beautiful and everything is conveniently located. I decided to lease rather than buy and will definitely buy/lease another one in four years.
