  By wes - September 5 - 6:53 am

  never owned a volvo..image thing, til i drove a friends..wow. this 2.5t really scoots and my wife loves the nav system. if there was one complaint, and its mild, it;s the turning circle. I had a back operation almost 2 yrs ago, these seats allow me to drive for hours! never thought i could do that again. love the performance and brakes

  Wow, This T5 is Awesome - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Patrick - August 13 - 5:03 pm

  I flew to Houston to pick this baby up. It was a two day trip home and I couldnt wait to get behind the wheel the second day. Ive never felt seats so comfortable. Some road noise is heard from the wide tires and rough patches are felt through the steering but thats to be expected from a sports type sedan. This car is solid, not one rattle or squeak. The steering is tight. I notice no real turbo lag and if there is any, the car makes up for it quickly. Punch it at highway speed and youll have no trouble passing just about anything. For $995 you can upgrade the ECU and increase the hp from 257 to 318 and the torque from 258 to 328. This car is fun, fast and comfortable.

  Sporty! - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Tony - April 22 - 12:23 am

  I just purchased my 2005 S60R with 6 speed MT. This car is fast, well balanced and very fun to drive. The turning radius is my biggest complaint so far but outside of that, the car has met my expectations which were pretty high. In addition to the great performance, the seats were a major selling point- very comfortable and good looking.

  I love it! - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Debbie - January 21 - 4:13 pm

  I picked up my S60R in Sweden, and have been driving it in Italy, where were stationed, for the past 4 months. Im not sure how Im gonna afford the tickets Ill probably get when we return to the states, as its very difficult to keep this car under 80mph-- 90 or so is a comfortable cruising speed on the Autostrade. Have 2 boys, and the 58" 13 year old hasnt complained on 3 hour road trips about the space in back, but could use a little more leg room, Im sure. Plenty of cargo space, and I love the elegant feel of the interior, and I love knowing that Ive got a powerful engine under the hood, as well as a safe car for carting my kids around.

  I commute 100 miles/day round trip to work and this car makes the drive fun. Passing on the tollway is easy and the interior is nicely designed and comfortable.

  Pre-owned S60 with 31,000 miles - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Lincoln224 - October 12 - 12:40 am

  I bought this car in Honolulu, HI with 31,000 miles. I love the Lunar gold paint and the tinted windows. The AWD seems heavy and solid throughout the suspension, the acceleration is OK, the turbo seems to suddenly kick in and push me back into my seat.

  Awesome car - 2005 Volvo S60
  By Brad - October 2 - 4:40 am

  Just picked up a new S60 2.5T in June, and it is one of the best sport-lux sedans out there. We were able to get every option (minus the nav) for a much better price than the BMWs & Audis we tested. And it is just as satisfying of a driving experience as the BMW (which is awesome to drive as well). The Volvo dealer had amazing levels of service, and the car definitely looks the best out of all the models we tested (BMW 3 and 5, Audi 4 & 6). The interior is a bit small (we tested the S80 too- much bigger), but it really works. This car is a blast to drive, and is great for turning heads in the driveway and on the road. Great car, go get one!

  2005 S60 2.4 - My First Volvo - 2005 Volvo S60
  By DOUGLASS - August 15 - 10:36 am

  My new 2005 Volvo S60 2.4 is a solid, well built sedan. There seems to have been a big improvement in styling and features since Ford purchased Volvo. This car is as good as my daughters BMW for a lot less money.
