  Not the best, not the worst - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Hit-s60r - July 4 - 12:13 pm

  I was sitting at a red light – behind 2 cars when a 27 year old woman (on the cell phone, looking over her shoulder) slammed into the back of me going 45, again I was at a dead stop. The impact sent me into the car ahead and broke my seat (Volvo safety design, break-away front seats). The Honda Insight which hit me square on the back bumper was totaled, and unless you looked at the rear deck of the Honda, you wouldn’t know what it was that hit me. The Volvo trunk, bumper was smashed back to the rear wheels and some damage was found in the bracing, not the frame. The car wasn’t totaled since the damage was about 24K and the value was north of 32K. The main thing was I walked away!

  Lightening Vault! - 2006 Volvo S60
  By visquci - June 30 - 11:06 am

  After a long research Volvo S60R was never in my radar. However, it is the most well balanced car. It is like a japanese katana blade, it has a fierce power in the torque, horse power and the AWD really really HUGS the road. S60R is not only a fast car but the safest on the road. Volvo has finally stepped up in its foundation in safe now they are moving into speed. i love it when you turn on the car the turbo sound really speaks to me like its telling me to drive me FAST! i top this car at 138 i would had gone faster but didnt bother too. Well done Volvo you really impress me.

  Suweeet - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Jim - June 25 - 4:56 am

  I went from a 4Runner to this vehicle. Perhaps Im getting old. I seats are incredibly comfortable (essential for my long commute). I test drove an older S60 2.4 (non- turbo) and Im extremely glad that I went with the newer Turbo AWD.

  I love this car - 2006 Volvo S60
  By chicagoangel - May 11 - 11:46 am

  I traded in a 98 S70 with hesitation. I love this car. My husband loves to drive my car and he hated my S70. I only wish given the price of gas, it had better mileage. At the same time, I have gotten better mileage both city and highway than what is on the specs. Highway I get 32 mpg. It seems like Volvo listened to their customers in what they wanted/needed in their next generation Volvo. Now, all they need to do is get better gas mileage.

  Incredible Car for the Dollar - 2006 Volvo S60
  By texasbry - January 24 - 11:28 am

  original owner since 2006 I looked at all the usual names, Audi/BMW/Saab/Nissan but either they were more then I wanted to spend and even worse, every street is littered with them! Almost 6 years later I get into this car and still love it!

  I cannot say enough about my S60 - 2006 Volvo S60
  By volvoowner - January 21 - 1:10 pm

  I researched vehicles for three months on here, reading all the reviews and several makes and models before I purchased my S60. I love the way it handles and have turned heads every where I drive. I traded a 2003 Jaguar and have owned three BMWs before this car. I can not say enough about the style, drive and ride. I feel very safe in my car. The back seat is small and low on comfort but this is my every day driver. I have an SUV for the family. The only problem I have noticed in the sound factor. I can hear the tires on the road if the radio is off. I had it checked twice and Volvo told me it was normal. Other than that I recommend this vehicle. Good luck shopping!

  Good Driving - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Chris - December 4 - 11:43 am

  This car is fast and fun to drive. Handles like a real tight sports car. High performance. Like it better than the Acura TL the gas mileage is not good but has improved since the car is more broken in. (25 on the highway at 1800 miles).

  AWD provides great stability and safety in inclement weather. I love the look of the 260. Drives great. Excellent power. Great local service.

  Smile on the open road - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Larry - November 11 - 9:00 am

  An enjoyable balance between an all out sports car and a family sedan. A wolf in sheeps clothing, the S60R does not have the immediate name/visual recognition of other 300 hp sedans, but the reliable and responsive turbo engine literally presses you back in the extremely comfortable seats. With respnsive AWD power and steering, the computer controlled suspension keeps the car on the road with minimum effort from the driver.

  Value - 2006 Volvo S60
  By S60R_Boy - September 3 - 9:30 pm

  Its true that this car is not quite in the same league as the Audi S4, BMW M3, and Mercedes C55. HOWEVER, for about $10,000 less than these German competitors, the Volvo S60R is an outstanding value. I just leased a 2007 model and got an amazing deal. A 36-month lease on an Audi S4, BMW M3, or Mercedes C55 would have cost me an additional $250 per month - not worth it in my opinion. The value proposition presented by the S60R was hard to pass up!
