This Year's Model Updates:

For 2008, the high-performance "R" model has been dropped. S60s get a standard auxiliary audio jack and MP3 capability for their audio systems, and the options packages are simplified.

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

  • Relability Stinks - 2008 Volvo S60
    By -

    I liked this car a lot when I first bought it. Now I regret my purchase. Its too small for a normal sized person and forget about fitting anyone in the back seat. Its too small for even a child. The trunk space is not practical. Its not a true sport sedan and the gas mileage is poor considering its size and that it has only 5 cylinders. Furthermore, the relability is suspect. It has been to the dealership 4 times in 4 months for two intermitent problems (antilock brakes and the radio). No resolution for the second problem yet. The dealer has not been able to fix the problem without keeping the car for a week at a time. Bottom line: Dont make my mistake, buy Japanese.
