  love my S60 - 2005 Volvo S60
  By lovemynewcar - August 20 - 2:43 pm

  Overall, I love my new car. Although, I had a tire blowout before I had it a week. A truck through something up and punctured a tire. The roadside assistance was wonderful. They sent someone to change the tire and I was back on the road in about 50 min.

  A "Volvo For Life" man is born - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Dave Besancon - July 10 - 3:56 am

  I just want you, who are having a tough time making a decision on this car, to know the following. I aggravated on this vehicle for over a year and then finally sat in one. Within seconds I knew this was it. We have owned ours over a month and it has been the greatest car I have owned. Extremely comfortable, very quick, and the gadgets work great. This vehicle is very stable and comfortable. The AWD already saved us while driving in ice. It pulled us back out of a slide before we had a chance to react. The space from rear to front seat is a little shy but we dont use the back much. It is a very elegant looking car too. Dont be afraid to buy this car. Volve takes good care of you.

  2005 S60R: Great "Sleeper" car - 2005 Volvo S60
  By ACowabunga - April 13 - 3:46 pm

  After owning a 2001 S60T5, I knew that the R would be a step up in performance. I wasnt disappointed in my purchase. The R has everything I enjoyed from my T5 plus more. I love the blue gauges and the ability to change the shock dampeners on the fly. I do not regret my purchase at all.

  almost perfect - 2005 Volvo S60
  By sedanfreak - January 24 - 5:13 am

  This one is in the top 3 of my all time favorites. Cool design interior and exterior. Good power and braking. Nit picks - huge turn radius, back seat leg room, interior noise higher than other german sedans Ive had (merc & BMW), hard tires and weak beverage holder.

  Love my S60 2.5T - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Ronee - November 16 - 5:00 am

  Handled like a dream on the Autobahn. Back in the states, on our "POOR" roads and weather conditions, the S60 2.5T holds the road. For a car with a short wheel base, one hardly feels the bumps. I would recomend this car to anyone at any age. Volvos slogan- "Volvo for Life" is right, its the only brand I will ever own.

  awesome car! - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Rose A. Abreu - August 9 - 3:20 am

  This is my second s60 and I love it more than the previous one. It has excellent acceleration and handles very well. It is very steady on the road. I had an incident where I am convinced that the stability control and the way the car respond to sudden changes, saved me from an accident. Overall an excellent car.

  I cant believe I bought a Volvo!! - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Hemanth - May 7 - 3:46 am

  Thats right. I cannot believe I bought a Volvo. 3 months ago if you had asked me if I would consider a Volvo S60R my question would be "a Volvo??" Actually I had gone to the Volvo deaerlship to test drive the xc90 and found the R very appealing. Took it for a spin and rest is history. I have fun everytime I drive this car. My previous car was a 97 Honda Prelude which does not come close to the ride feel, comfort, and solid built of the Volvo. I am yet to see how reliable the turbocharged engine turns out to be where my old Honda never let me down but overall I am very pleased with my R. Test drove the IS300, 330I, TL, G35 before I decided to go with the Volvo.
