  Redefines "Sleeper" - 2006 Volvo S60
  By M Syd - March 26 - 10:36 am

  99.9% of the planet thinks Volvo is about safe, family style vehicles. But speed trumps safety if you slap an R badge on the boot! This car is the ultimate in sexy edge exterior design and endless creature comforts. Not seats, thrones! I’ve had the car for a little over two years now and everyday I can’t wait to get inside! Especially now with a custom 3” turbo-back exhaust (solves your turbo lag problem BTW). ZERO maintenance issues save for the 2006 software gremlin that magically turns your R into a 240 DL. Great Fuel economy! Performance upgrades are spendy, but TRANSFORM the car into a track warrior (can you spell IPD.com?) I LOVE THIS CAR!

  10/10 Would buy again - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Grayson T - January 23 - 6:00 am

  This review is coming from a previous BMW 7 series owner. This car in short is reliable, safe, extremely comfortable, great on gas and more! I purchased this car at 163,000 miles. Right after i purchased the vehicle, i drove 12 hours straight, and i instantly noticed how comfortable the car is. The seats are great for long drives. It also is great on gas. Got 30 MPG on the highway doing about 80 most of the time, and about 24-26 MPG city. The stereo is amazing, i ussualy listen at hugh volumes and it handles it well. As far as overall reliability, it has been great! Only a few minor fixes. This car does have a few minor annoyances, like the wood steering wheel has started to crack at the top (just surface cracks), and there are a few rattles from the dash when small bumps are hit. Overall this car is amazing. It drives great, super easy steering, easy breaks, and it accelerates exceptionally. I would reccomend this car to anyone.

  great value compared to BMW - 2006 Volvo S60
  By mick - January 11 - 11:00 am

  I have a 2005 S60 T5 (manual)...performancewise the S60 2.5T and T5 are a lot of car for the money...the worlds most comfortable seats and built like a tank with a lot of get up and go....if you are looking at a BMW 330 or ACura TL this Volvo is a much better value...

  So Happy - 2006 Volvo S60
  By j - September 25 - 4:53 am

  Bought this vehicle to fit this criteria, fuel efficient/fun to drive comfortable, stylish and moderately priced. I enjoy driving it, even if it is not super sporty, it is very comfortable, and gets good gas mileage. I got 31 hwy averaging about 70-75 on my latest 3000 road trip, around town I get about 25. I bought a 06, Special edition with all the bells and whistles to include nav, bi- zenon, ect., and paid 34. Beemer would have been 45, no contest if you ask me, and as far as the bmw, this handled ALMOST as good on my twisty road into work, and ALMOST as fast, but I like the interior better. If you need to pay for a name/image get the bmw, if you are past that get this.

  great car - 2006 Volvo S60
  By ingrid - June 14 - 12:43 am

  The leather and sport package make this car as much fun to drive as my husbands BMW 530i. Plus, I didnt have to drive around with the owners manual the first week like he did.

  Best sedan on paper and on the road - 2006 Volvo S60
  By sfoster - April 28 - 11:33 pm

  I test drove many comparable sedans but could not get past the S60Rs choice of features and performance. The car is a sleeper but still has an exclusive factor. 4-C suspension is great and the 6-speed is smooth. Truly nothing like it for the price (I got if for 9k under MSRP!) and performance.

  Sleeper - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Acer - November 18 - 10:43 pm

  After a long research period and a slew of test drives (shucks) I finally selected the S60 R. My selection criteria were: 300 hp, AWD, and convertible; and I looked at GS300 AWD, G35 AWD, Z Roadster, M3, 330 xi, C55 AMG, SLK 350, WRX STi, and S4. None of the cars match all three criteria, but the S60 R did the best at the most affordable price. I also like the fact you dont see them everywhere like you would with a BMW. And aside from a few small "R"s there is nothing that readily identifies this Volvo as the hot rod version. The S60 R is the atheltic WRX STi that has grown up and wearing a suit and tie.

  S60 Volvo 2.5T - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Gemini - September 8 - 4:26 pm

  alot of fun to drive. Holds the road better than originally expected. Fuel economy is better than expected as well. 208 hp have plenty of power. The leather seats are very comfortable, especially on long drives. The sound system is awesome. The fold down seats are also a great feature.

  Volvo S60R - 2006 Volvo S60
  By outlawez - July 12 - 8:43 am

  Excellent car...very roomy throughout the front seats, rear seating could be larger. Safety features on this car are top-notch. When considering a safe, fun four door nothing else compares.
