  Best Car Ive Owned - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Janez Narojnak - October 30 - 10:56 am

  Performance is astounding! 5.4 seconds to 60 with the stick, or 6.0 with the automatic. Great handling and tire grip. . 4-piston Brembo front and rear brakes stop on a dime. The BEST feature is the adjustable suspension, which has 3 positions: Comfort, Sport, amd Agreesive, which increase suspension stiffness and enhance handling further! And the agressive mode puts the transmission in the Sport mode, which inceases acceleration! Comfort, considering the 18" wheels, is very good, but dont expect the ride to be as soft as a Buick. Also, rear seat is a bit cramped. Just one more inch of leg room would help! Great reliabilty, great durability/build quality, and excellent value! Phenomenal car!

  Everything I wanted - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Everything I wanted - October 26 - 12:56 am

  This car turned out to be all that and then some. A coworker owned one, but it wasnt until I saw it in Titanium Metallic that I had to buy it. Drop dead looks, in between size, uncommon ( you dont see yourself coming and going)

  My Second T5 - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Bob - August 6 - 5:56 am

  I love my first T5 but the second one is so much more. Now comes standard with sport supension, added the 4-C chaisis control with a 6 speed standard. This car has it all over the BMW 330 and costs less. In fact this T5 had more and was less than my 2003 model!

  Unsuspecting S60R - 2006 Volvo S60
  By righter - June 21 - 5:43 am

  We had never even considered looking at a Volvo and were looking primarily at Audis when a teenager mentioned that we should try the s60r. Best advice! We loved it and bought it. More luxury than we expected, handles amazingly and so damn fast! It was a surprise to us and we are so happy with it - yes we agree about the turning radius though, a sacrifice we are willing to make.

  2006 S60R - 2006 Volvo S60
  By TA1GMB - April 3 - 3:30 pm

  Have had several Volvos over the years and the S60R is by far the most fun to drive. Awesome power combined with control. Best car in its class for the money. If Volvo could only catch-up on interior design and make Navi a standard option, this car would be untouchable.

  Volvo Lover - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Annette Ferrell - February 26 - 2:56 am

  I searched many months for a car and my decision came down to the Volvo and the Acura TL. I love this Volvo - its quick, FUN to drive, yet has a feeling of sophistication and sexy! This car feels like its floating on the road - watch your speedometer - youll be at 90 mph before you know it. This car is comfortable and well appointed. Leg room in the back is a little tight, but I rarely have rear passengers so no problem. I drive about 80% highway and consistently get 27-28 mpg.

  Its G-RRRRRR-EAT - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Silver Bullet - February 18 - 10:56 am

  Excellent value for the price. I would have liked to purchase more of the extras, but wanted an S60R now! After the test drive I lost sleep waiting to purchase. I would have purchased two, but opted to purchase a Dodge Charger SRT-8 as our "bigger" car. The sixth gear is an asset. The fuel economy is nice. We traded in our 2004 S60 and feel that the R version is heads and shoulders above the competition and other S60 models. The gauges are gorgeous!! The overall interior room could be a bit bigger (this is my one and only negative point). But the size is just right for a small family. As you step into the car, an ambiance of complete safety surrounds you.

  Stealthy Pocket Rocket - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Dave - January 28 - 5:06 am

  My wife wanted this car because its low profile, but great looking. I think its super quick with the automatic; feels a lot quicker than an 05 demo I drove last year and faster than the spec. Great seats, and the adjustable suspension really works. So far, its been problem free for 5 months. Good price: $37K for automatic with some packsges(amounted to $300 over invoice AND less $2250 incentive.) We may have gotten the last one for while, since it doesnt look like Volvo will make an 07 R and theres talk of dropping the S60 altogether. Looked at TL (too common and FWD), G35 (didnt feel as confident to drive or as quick), Mustang GT, (too banal), Maxima (FWD, etc, etc.), Audi...

  Volvos Secret - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Paul from MA - January 14 - 12:10 am

  Volvos secret is the buy of the year. Fast, safe, stylish and 10 to 15K less expensive than an Audi S4 or BMW 540i.Great interior(except for the roof liner). The Brembo brakes inspire confidence to drive faster than you should. The shifter is quick and precise but the clutch is a little quirky. Steering could be a little more precise, but this is subjective as my last car was an Audi TT. The suspension in either sport or advanced provides a nice tight ride and in comfort(which I use when my wife is with me) is still fun and very smooth. Its a ggod thing that few people know about the R or I may have had a much longer wait to get this car (2 weeks, it was on the boat).
