  Its G-RRRRRR-EAT - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Silver Bullet - February 18 - 10:56 am

  Excellent value for the price. I would have liked to purchase more of the extras, but wanted an S60R now! After the test drive I lost sleep waiting to purchase. I would have purchased two, but opted to purchase a Dodge Charger SRT-8 as our "bigger" car. The sixth gear is an asset. The fuel economy is nice. We traded in our 2004 S60 and feel that the R version is heads and shoulders above the competition and other S60 models. The gauges are gorgeous!! The overall interior room could be a bit bigger (this is my one and only negative point). But the size is just right for a small family. As you step into the car, an ambiance of complete safety surrounds you.

  Stealthy Pocket Rocket - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Dave - January 28 - 5:06 am

  My wife wanted this car because its low profile, but great looking. I think its super quick with the automatic; feels a lot quicker than an 05 demo I drove last year and faster than the spec. Great seats, and the adjustable suspension really works. So far, its been problem free for 5 months. Good price: $37K for automatic with some packsges(amounted to $300 over invoice AND less $2250 incentive.) We may have gotten the last one for while, since it doesnt look like Volvo will make an 07 R and theres talk of dropping the S60 altogether. Looked at TL (too common and FWD), G35 (didnt feel as confident to drive or as quick), Mustang GT, (too banal), Maxima (FWD, etc, etc.), Audi...

  Volvos Secret - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Paul from MA - January 14 - 12:10 am

  Volvos secret is the buy of the year. Fast, safe, stylish and 10 to 15K less expensive than an Audi S4 or BMW 540i.Great interior(except for the roof liner). The Brembo brakes inspire confidence to drive faster than you should. The shifter is quick and precise but the clutch is a little quirky. Steering could be a little more precise, but this is subjective as my last car was an Audi TT. The suspension in either sport or advanced provides a nice tight ride and in comfort(which I use when my wife is with me) is still fun and very smooth. Its a ggod thing that few people know about the R or I may have had a much longer wait to get this car (2 weeks, it was on the boat).

  Love it! - 2006 Volvo S60
  By judy - January 1 - 10:00 pm

  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). Didnt even test drive the T5, dont 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. Cant wait to move up to the C70 in a few years.
