  Pretty Nice Sedan - 2006 Volvo S60
  By kurt - September 22 - 9:50 am

  Bought this used through a dealership specializing in low mileage/one owner cars. The car is one owner- a leasee in a suburb of Chicago. As to low miles, the CarFax said 16,200 when I bought it so unless it was tampered with, that is what it was. This car excels on the highway; plenty of power, quiet, comfortable. In town it is a little less agreeable, mostly because the suspension is a bit more stiff than it should be. Mileage has been excellent for a car with this power- 24 in all-purpose driving, over 30mph strictly highway. Leather seats very comfortable, the radio is nice, auto climate control works great. No major complaints but overall the car is less luxurious than I desired.

  Not as good as I thought - 2006 Volvo S60
  By LS - September 16 - 10:56 am

  I owned a 98 Mercedes C230 and was thinking about getting a new one. Instead I bought this car. I was in for a surprise. Here are the major issues I have found with this car: poor turning radius, loud engine noise, very rough ride and between 50 - 60 mph the car struggles with what the right shift should be so the steering wheel vibrates ever so slightly. Then there are the little things: headrest doesnt move, you have a button to open your gas tank but not one for your trunk, your driver door does not lock when the car takes off, the key is extremely bulky and heavy (I am a woman so I put it in my purse, feel bad for the guys that have to carry it around in their pockets).

  Company S60 - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Tom - August 28 - 10:36 pm

  My company provided me the S60. If it were my money, I would not buy one. It is fine on highways with blistering acceleration and comfortable seats. The S60 is not good on curves and in corners -- its weight and vague steering adversely influence the handling. After 9500 miles, the only problem I have had is a loose passenger side door seal, fixed at the 7500 mile oil change service.

  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!

  Disappointed With Car - 2006 Volvo S60
  By Lynne - July 16 - 6:06 am

  I purchased this care when I gave my Nissan Altima to my daughter due to her car being totaled. I am totally disappointed with the care and am trading it in after only having it for less than two years. The turning radius is bad and the main problem is the alignment. I have had to buy two complete new sets of tires during that period. Last time was because I had a blowout on the highway. The alignment has to be redesigned so it isnt so sensitive to any bumps. Car definitely didnt live up to my expectations.

  The stealth car... Rather the car no one knows about. - 2006 Volvo S60
  By IntParty - June 28 - 7:10 am

  was stunned when I test drove it and several moments told Gary the Carmax sales man." I like this I like it a lot, I think Im going to take this home with me tonight." So I took it home. I have no problems with this vehicle other then the leg room in the back for passengers. But since I rarely ever drive anyone else its no big problem.

  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.
