This Year's Model Updates:

All 2007 Volvo S60s get a revised front fascia, standard stability control and a tire-pressure monitor. The 2.5T and T5 models receive firmer suspension tuning and aluminum interior trim. For the S60 R, a compass, grocery bag hooks and sunglasses holders are now standard.

Pros:
  • Superb front-seat comfort, long list of safety features, comfortable ride, available all-wheel drive, powerful R model.
Cons:
  • Soft suspension tuning limits handling potential, steering needs more feedback, turbo lag and torque steer in T5 model, tight rear legroom.

  • Leftover 2007 - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    I walked into the dealership to purchase a 2008 V40T5 and found none available in the South Florida area. I was called back to see this car, a loaner/demo with the Premium and Sport packages. One test drive later I was an owner. Over the years I have owned every premium brand,and this is a great blend for the money.

  • So far so good... - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    Just got into this vehicle after much research (1 yr). It came down to S60 vs. TL. S60 won because of cabin comfort (incredible!), fold flat rear seats, 8-way passenger seating, hand-brake location (driver side), Regular fuel & Trunk capacity. Overall Im very satisfied with the ride. Makes you feel like driving all day... Its been 14 years since Ive driven a new car (came from a 93 Integra which is the best car in the world!!!). Its going to take some time getting use to all this new technology. Will keep you posted...

  • Been driving this car for 17 months - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    I have been driving my S60 AWD since July of 2007. I drive from northern New England to New York City and back every other week. This car has held up well. My fuel economy seems fine (I dont pay very close attention). The comfort of the seats has remained solid, the electronics still work fine, in short, everything is still in working order. It has handled very well in snow/sleet conditions, though I recommend engaging the W option when doing so. The trunk storage is pretty good, the rear seats, while comfortable, dont have a boatload of legroom for adults. When I got this I was considering the BMW 3 Series, the S60 and the Saab 9-3. I am still very happy I decided to get the S60.

  • Excellent all-around street car - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    The best value in an all-around performance street car. Superb brakes. Car feels noticeably lighter than it is when driven hard in the mountains or on the track. More fun to drive with DTSC on because of active yaw control. Ignore most of the negative comments of some other reviewers. The R *has* vented brake rotors, the gas cap is on the side of the car away from traffic so its not "wrong," there *is* a 6 CD changer option, turn the radio off for "mute" (duh), the key fob opens the trunk if you press the trunk button *twice* like it says in the manual (bad design, but its right there in the book), and if you unlock the doors the trunk opens with the touch of a button.

  • Do Not Purchase This Car - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    I am shocked that this vehicle is allowed to be sold after so many service related issues. My transmission has gone out, the shocks have gone out, the wheel bearings have gone out, the engine needs oil every 800 miles. I have driven a loaner more than this car. Volvo is very unresponsive probably because they are owned by FORD.

  • Priceless - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    Amazing car! Incredibly quick, amazing exterior and interior looks, amazing sound system, gages are beautiful, powerful brakes, sharp rims, soft and easy clutch, AWD system definitely keeps the car grounded. An huge bargain for its price compared to its counterparts. Definitely go overseas delivery if you have the chance, nothing beats zipping by BMWs on the autobahn.

  • S60 2.5T Hasnt Failed yet!! - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    Lower MPG than 04 V70 2.5t wagon....though it improved a bit with new tires. Had it about 2 years and its very comfortable in the front seats. Just doesnt drive as smoothly as the older wagon.

  • 150k miles and counting!! - 2007 Volvo S60
    By -

    I bought my 2007 Volvo S60 R used at 85k miles. It now has over 150k miles on it! In this time I have not had one problem with the car. Its given a scheduled oil change every 5k miles, and had its 120k mile regular maintenance. I do take very good care of my car, however, I enjoy having fun in it as well. With the DTSC system combined with AWD, the back country roads couldnt be more fun. This was my first car, and have had it since I was 16, so Im sure you can guess the limits Ive pushed this car to... None the less, it has held up better than I couldve imagined. I recently took the car for a full 130 point inspection and it passed every single one. My mechanic doesnt doubt if Ill see 300k miles with this car. With all the good, I will have to complain about the turn radius, as its about the same as truck. All in all its a great car, I look forward to the life of this car and the other Volvos I will be purchasing.
