  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.

  Good and TBD - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Cristian - October 10 - 5:40 pm

  Love driving this car! I bought one with Geartronic and all options except nav. My other car is a 99 Boxster and it is going to spend a lot of time in the garage now. The bad is the temp sensor went out the first weekend I had the car. Remains to be seen if reliability will dull my enthusiasm for the car I enjoyed test driving more than the A4 3.2 Quattro and 330xi.

  S60 Volvo 2.5T - 2006 Volvo S60

  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.

  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.

  Nice additio0n to the Volvo line-up - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Mike B - April 28 - 12:50 pm

  Was looking for a car for my wife that had safety, comfort, looks and speed. Also didnt want a common choice (Audi, Infinity, Acura, BMW) however we tested them all. The S60R was a real suprise in the interior department - VERY plush and comfortable. Back seat is for children only, though. Trunk is large, and doors are easy to enter/exit. Safety features are everywhere. Exterior is real sharp with sleek lines and sporty look. The fun part of this car is its speed and handling. High velocity going around a big bend in "advanced" is thrilling - tight with great control. Not the sweetest of sounds when under full throttle, but does grow on you. Brakes are teriffic.

  No luck for me - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Sue - April 28 - 12:36 pm

  I was trying to save a bit of money so after doing much research, I turned in my BMW for a Volvo. In 4 months time, I have had 3 tire blow outs, replaced a rim, had a faulty passanger airbag that does not work(the sensor had to be ordered since the car is so new) and my ipod adaptor broke. I was tired of spending more time at Volvo service than driving the car. I was fed up with all this happening with a 4 month old car. Today I happily traded the Volvo in for a BMW which I know will be reliable and I am extrememly happy with my decision and my new car.

  Couldnt be happier - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Jim - April 25 - 3:50 pm

  I have owned my S60 for three months, and have 2,400 miles on it. The car has performed perfectly, with no flaws mechanically or in its worksmanship. I enjoy the interior comfort, and the turbocharged engine, which really jumps when you punch the pedal. I get about 21 mpg in town, and 29 mpg on the open road. The car is agile on the road, feels firm, and gives a smooth ride. To me, its a much better car and value than competitors at Acura, BMW and Lexus.

  S60 Turbo, 2005 - 2006 Volvo S60
  By S60 - January 13 - 10:20 pm

  I was planing to buy a BMW 325i and had test drove it, but before buying it I test drove a S60 2.5T(Turbo). I loved this car. It had great power, all the goodies and by far a better deal. I bought it on the spot and would not change my decision.

  By Fekix - October 5 - 7:03 am

  The car is great. Where I live you dont see many Volvos so we get lots of heads turning. The car rides smooth as has plenty of power, the seats or the most comfortable I have sat in.

  Best car I have ever owned. - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Pleased Volvo Owner - September 22 - 8:31 am

  I bought a Volvo s60 T5 for the its safety rating, and it delivered. I was recently in a horrific car accident whilst driving this vehicle and my son and I were able to walk out of the car. The front end was completely smashed in. This car was so reliable, and it performed as if it came off the lot that day. The seats are hands down the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. When Volvo says, "Volvo for Life," they arent kidding. This car saved my life, and I will always choose Volvo. I cannot wait to get another one.
