  3 years, 45000 miles - 2007 Volvo S60
  By Revolvolution - November 3 - 1:16 am

  We bought this car in 2005, the first year the R was available. After much research it came down to the Audi A4, BMW 3 series, Mercedes C Class and the Volvo S60R. After a test drive in each the Volvo was the clear winner. Faster pickup, more solid build quality. The BMW and MBenz felt like toys compared to this. The Audi was nice but had now where near the OOMPH! AWD was a must for us living in the Northeast. We have driven it over 45,000 miles now in the city and highway with no major mechanical issues. This is the 2nd one we owned (yes, I was the first person in the United States to total an "R"). Major rollover accident. WE ALL WALKED AWAY WITHOUT A SCRATCH! Volvo saved my life.

  R-Fegnugen (if only that were Swedish) - 2007 Volvo S60
  By Converted - July 10 - 12:30 pm

  Exceptional. Fun car but not an ostentatious sports car. Compared to Infiniti G35, Audi S4, and BMW 330. Surprising power. Tight handling with the advantage of variable All-Wheel Drive. No problems with the R in mountain snow. Get this w/ a manual transmission for maximum fun. Great finishing touches on interior, gauges and electronics. Hwy fuel economy better than 30 MPG. Overall, good value for performance.

  Shocked - 2007 Volvo S60
  By jetwet1 - June 6 - 9:50 am

  The first car we test drove was a 07 S60, we both liked the car a lot but we had other cars to test drive. After test driving every 4 door salon on the market we came back to the Volvo, it was everything we wanted. Great performance, very comfortable, good fuel economy and of course being a Volvo very safe. After a month of ownership, well the negative is of course the back seat, if you are traveling with friends make sure the dont have legs, on the other hand if your like us and dont have to worry about people in the back seat then this is a car to look at. On the highway it is a fantastic cruiser, ranking right up there with my 500E. In short, test drive it, you may well be shocked.

  Im spoiled for ordinary cars - 2007 Volvo S60
  By Zach - September 4 - 7:46 am

  This car is lightning fast, stable, and comfortable on long drives. The best of both worlds in terms of a sports car with coupe lines that you can live with and bring along friends. Great stereo, phenomenal seats - this car fits me better than anything else I have ever driven.

  Surprise Vehicle - 2007 Volvo S60
  By arbitrage - July 21 - 6:40 pm

  The new Volvo S60 2.5T is a terrific vehicle. I have owned Audi 6 and Lincloln LS prior to this and have found the Volvo to be: more comfortable, better pick-up, interior design to be well built and the leather sport seats are most comfortable of any car ever driven; the exterior lines rival the Audi A 6! The only negative found is in the turning radius; otherwise this car combines significantly better safety, terrific seats and exterior design as well as any competitively priced and/or higher priced autos.

  Fantastic used bargain!! - 2007 Volvo S60
  By happy 1st time owner - May 1 - 12:16 pm

  Came across the S60 in Consumer Reports "best used cars"; they rate the 07 S60 reliability higher than Infiniti G35(!). Found well-equipped one w/low miles for great price. Very pleased so far: it has sport package & ride can get a bit choppy over lateral ridges at times, but for the most part is pretty good, similar to 3-Series etc., very nice on hwy. Expecting ride improvement when OEM junk Pirellis replaced. Great solid build quality, nice amenities, front seats *very* comfortable; rear are as well but a bit cramped for tall folks, look @ S80 if you need more room. Excellent radio & climate control. Engine could be smoother, but has good torque. Averaging 27 mpg on commute.

  no reason to panic - 2007 Volvo S60
  By S60R - August 16 - 7:56 am

  Ive had my R for about 6 months and couldnt be happier. I was a little nervous after reading some of the edmunds reviews, but can honestly say I have been thrilled thusfar. I got mine with the sport package. I, like many was looking at the IS350 and the GS. This is a hoot to drive, not as throaty and braggadosia as the Infinit, and feels bigger inside (at least the front seat) than the lex.

  Daughters Volvo - 2007 Volvo S60
  By John - June 19 - 7:33 pm

  My daughter was in a serious accident in my 2003 S-60. She was hit from behind by a truck while at a red light. The car was totaled she was fine. I leased a 2007 the next day and found it better than the 03, The turbo is very peppy the handling on the awd is excellent and the dtsc is great in wet weather. I would highly recommend this car. Fuel mileage is also very good on regular gas.

  I love my S60 2.5T - 2007 Volvo S60
  By suzanne G - August 9 - 8:26 am

  I love this car! It has all the class and safety of a volvo but it is also very quick and sporty. I have the black sapphire with black interior with the sport package.

  Very solid entry level sedan - 2007 Volvo S60
  By cwkim - June 17 - 7:13 pm

  I recently purchased this vehicle as preowned and after reviewing other consumer reports and reviews, and I am very pleased with it so far. I agree with what other people have noted and it seems pretty accurate far as performance and drivability goes for most drivers like me ( everyday commute for BASIC entry level luxury sedan). It has very nice standard features as noted in specs and does seem utilitarian overall and not as sophisticated as a BMW or Lexus but it seems more functional and solid. I would highly recommend it for someone with kids or someone looking for value in a sedan with good standard features and known for safety.
