  Very nice car with excellent handling and acceleration. You just have to think about where you want it to go and its there. Many drivers of Mustang GTs and BMWs have been surprised!

  The One! - 2005 Volvo S60
  By James D - June 29 - 8:53 am

  This car had me literally standing in the doorway to my garage shaking my head in disbelief. I never thought I would find a car with the comfort, power, style and the ability to handle Colorado weather rolled into one car! It is definitely a "sleeper"! I dont think the person next to you at the light thinks they could be smoked by a Volvo. It says "family" on the outside and "open me up!" from the inside. This car is extremely fun to drive, undisputably comfortable seats, the best I have ever been in. It looks gorgeous (Nautica Blue) w/o being pretentious and has all the necessary features one would expect from this class of vehicle. I plan to keep this car for my 3 yr. old when she gets older!

  The best and most fun car I ever owned. It runs so well in all conditions that I dont know what to do to make me lose control.

  Review 2005 S60 - 2005 Volvo S60
  By zawinul - January 24 - 10:44 pm

  Best car I have owned...the car is smooth no wobble from the front end tracks very good, it is a pleasure to drive.... would I buy another Volvo... yes. I do take very good care of my vehicles I pride myself on that... if the car breaks down it wont be from neglect. when you want to sell your vehicle show the service records... cant argue about price with a maintained vehicle.

  Good buy, Great car - 2005 Volvo S60
  By marky mark - December 16 - 6:13 pm

  This is a great car! I am only 18 but I love my parents for getting me it, what can I say, were a volvo family. My dad has the s80 and the s60r brings the sport back to volvo. I also have an 2000 s70 glt which is fun, but doesnt compare. I only wish I had gotten manual.... except in those traffic jams

  Fun Sedan - 2005 Volvo S60
  By BlazinBob - November 15 - 9:16 pm

  Great car. I got the Premium, touring and sport packages on mine as well as the "geartronic" trans. Plenty of power, handles GREAT, Sporty car and safe too! Not much room in the back, but its plenty for the kids and they have their own AC vents back there. Seats are very supportive and comfortable. Lots of neat little features like if the wife uses her key to lock the car, the drivers seat and side mirrors remember their positions and return to her settings when she uses her remote again. Auto down AND Up on the front windows. They also have an obstruction safety that will automatically reverse the window if it encounters an obstacle while being raised. My second Volvo.

  Solid, comfortable, but not perfect - 2005 Volvo S60
  By eh_clark - October 20 - 5:10 am

  When Volvo first introduced the S60 in 2001, I was very impressed but considered such a car to be out of my reach. However, when the Ford Ranger started to show signs of impending doom, I started looking for something a little more roomy, comfortable and efficient. Luckily, I found an add special and got a great deal on a base model (whose standard features exceed my "loaded" Pontiac). So far it has been a very quiet, reliable, COMFORTABLE, and reasonably effecient car. If it would have had fog lights, it would be perfect. Obviously, I would like a turbo and AWD, but really couldnt afford it.

  Sometimes Newer doesnt mean better! - 2005 Volvo S60
  By volvo4ever97 - October 20 - 5:09 am

  Newer doesnt mean better! Today I got to test drive a shinny black Volvo S60 model 2005 AWD. (After my recent service prices engaged on our 97 Volvo 850GLT my wife suggested we get a newer car and make monthly payments with full warranties 4 peace of mind) anyhow the 05 S60AWD is very fast/peppy. AWD holds excellent traction in wet/slushy/snowy roads, but not the car for me. Why? Our present Volvo has enough leg-room in the back for 2 adults to sit in while the front occupants are comfy, the S60 has a gap of 4 inches from edge of back seat to back of front seat. Nice car for a little man/woman and maybe babies in the back seat, not for Volvos advertised 5 passenger (adults).

  Amazing Car All Around - 2005 Volvo S60
  By GolfingGuy - October 18 - 3:10 pm

  This car is really amazing. The interior (taupe/beige leather) is perfectly designed, with Volvos Swedish aspect present, and also it is ergonomically sound. The controls are very easy to use and look very nice. The exterior (silver) is very sporty and gives the car a much more athletic look than most other Volvos. Overall this car is really great, price too.
