2006 S60R - 2006 Volvo S60
By Lily - February 9 - 9:06 pmThis car is amazing! Surpassed my expectations. Its fast, comfortable, sleek, sporty, sexy. Too bad she cant be driven the way shes meant to be, which is way over the speed limit! Love shocking the guys when they see a woman behind the wheel just blew away their M3.

Fun to drive, good looking, really nice - 2006 Volvo S60
By abjammin - January 24 - 9:50 amMade a decision to purchase this car after evaluating it and several others. Very happy with my choice. BMW was nice but everything is a la carte. Volvo included all the features I needed/wanted in a beautiful pkg thats a blast to drive. Cool looking and very comfortable interior. Only warning is that the sport pkg skirts are very low and the steering in tight places - parking lots is not very tight. Once you get used to it, its fine.

S-60 rocks!! - 2006 Volvo S60
By bkinchlt - January 12 - 11:50 amThere was an initial problem with the starter fuse, causing the car to die twice, but since then it has run flawlessly. The turbo kicks in immediately (I dont know what they mean when they say lag, because there is none.) This is the most comfortable car to take on a long trip. You cant beat Volvos seats.

Love my S60 - 2006 Volvo S60
By Kim - January 8 - 10:23 amMy parents have owned Volvos for the past 20 years and have never had a problem. So when it was my turn to move up in the car world I was excited with how far Volvo has come in design! I looked at Acura and Mercedes and just melted into Volvos seats. After going to our regular Volvo dealer, I was sold, at 8:45 at night! I am extremely satisfied with my decision. I was actually originally looking into the S40, however with the financing/leasing deals for the S60, it turned out to be a better deal...and more room in the car!

Jack of All Trades - 2006 Volvo S60
By spinner - July 30 - 3:13 amI wanted a performance car, but my wife said I had to get a sedan. I initially looked at an STI, but figured Id need a kidney transplant after a long trip. Id never heard of the S60R, but when I learned about it, I found it fit my lifestyle to a "T". Its a sports car when I want it to be, and a people hauler when it needs to be. The trunk is surprisingly large. Passengers cant stop commenting on how supple the leather is. I cant wait to go to work in the morning because I get to drive my car there. I bet itd be a kick on the racetrack...on/off ramps are a hoot. This is the best car Ive ever owned. Almost as fast an S4 for 10-15 grand less.

Like My Volvo! - 2006 Volvo S60
By collmm - July 11 - 10:40 amThe S60 is reliable, comfortable and fun to drive. Both interior and exterior styling are sexy beautiful with nice fit and finish. Accelerates and brakes nicely. You really have to DRIVE this car on clover leaf type on/off ramps-the steering jerks and fights you all the way! Rear passengers (that can tolerate the limited leg room) complain of car sickness because the rear seating position is low and back end of car tends to roll when cornering. Ive owned the car for 13 months-no repairs except for a broken gas cap (broke when removed to fill-up in very cold weather). Mileage could be improved as Im averaging only 20.4 mpg (at least it runs on regular)!

....good value - 2006 Volvo S60
By Cable knit sweater - July 6 - 3:03 pmWhen the lease on my Saab 9-3 recently expired I researched available replacements. The "usual suspects" from Japan, Germany and Sweden.... The Volvo S-60T met my needs. We have owned 3 Volvos in the past and have been satisfied. The combination of features, adding the Luxury and Sport packages, and price incentives at the time of lease, were not matched by the competition. Front seat comfort is exemplary , rear seat legroom is tight, though the seats themselves are comfortable. The handling is excellent, ride comfortable and fit and finish is flawless. After one month I am thoroughly satisfied.

S60R Best bang for my buck - 2006 Volvo S60
By Steve D. - January 8 - 11:23 pmBought this certified pre-owned and after only 1 week every expectation has been met. With only 22,000 miles car smells and drives like it just rolled off the assembly line. One issue I have is the summer OEM tires which are worn out. Theyre being replaced with Ultra-High Performance M+S Yokohomas Advan S4. With a treadwear rating of 400 and rotation every 6,000 miles I should get approx. 40,000 - 50,000 miles out of these Yokohomas) C4 Suspension settings >> Comfort, Sport and Advanced. I can go from a Lincoln Town Car ride (Comfort) to a race car ride (Advanced) with a touch of a button! By far the safest car on the road today

top notch ride - 2006 Volvo S60
By john p - January 6 - 12:13 pmI bought my 2006 s60 2.5t new. I now have 134,300 on it and it still drives and looks new. Volvo interiors hold up incredibly well, the seats stay comfortable and all components stay in place. True quality. The cars is great to drive, has smooth power great handling and comfort. Anyone looking at a used 2006 will be surprised and satisfied especially with the price you can pick one up for. Just over 140,000 now, new tires, shocks and brakes. Feels just like new. Go to a Volvo dealer and just do some comparison shopping against any BMW, AUDI etc. Volvo will hold its own.

Volvo S60 - 2006 Volvo S60
By dlester6909 - November 19 - 7:33 amBest car I have ever had. Its very responsive and agile. The smooth drive is what I expected from a midsized luxury sedan. The power from this 2.5 must not to be overlooked. I would encourage all to just take a test drive to see what I mean.
