• Steering and handling lack the precision needed for a true sport sedan, expensive optional equipment.

  All around good vehicle - 2001 Volvo S60

  Although I have had to bring the vehicle into the shop for a few minor adjustments (covered under warranty), for the most part this vehicle has been everything that I expected of it.

  Transmission Problems with the S60?? - 2001 Volvo S60
  By Toc - November 4 - 10:00 am

  We have been relatively satisfied with our S60 but have noticed that the transmission slips from time to time (it seems as if it shifts into neutral for a few seconds and there appears to be no pattern to this problem). We have been to the dealership 3 times for this issue but they were "not able to replicate the problem." At the dealership, there were 3 other customers with S60s and they were all there for transmission problems. Is this a common problem with the S60s?

  Overall, a good car. - 2001 Volvo S60
  By dimitris - October 15 - 10:00 am

  Volvo has opened up to a new segment with this new, less boxy style. The car has been both a pleasure and an annoyance. Pleasure is the feeling of comfort, safety, gas mileage. Annoyance is having the car die on us (battery & alternator) on the day our first kid was born! Dealer service is somewhat poor compared to the average German Luxury Sedan. Lexus is classes above in that area. Volvo does make good cars, with safety and comfort being the key points. However, be prepared to sporadic breakdown and spotty dealership service. Volvo wants to play in the luxury league, yet theyre not there yet...

  Not bad - 2001 Volvo S60
  By Proj - May 20 - 3:30 am

  This car is ok. Im a true Volvo fan and this is a little disappointment in the reliability department coming from my 88 760 GLE. But its so much fun to drive and very comfortable. If you get one of these, make sure the transmission fluid is clear and red and the transmission control module has up-to-date software! If the fluid is not clear and red, only use 3309 ATF when you change it. The transmission is very sensitive in these cars so be prepared for some serious upkeep on it. Ive been fortunate so far.

  Cold Weather Survival Tool - 2001 Volvo S60
  By jpearsall - September 2 - 2:00 am

  Performace is all I need, handling is not quite a BMW, but this I will trade for front wheel drive. Why? The same reason I love the climate control, heated leaterh seats and great defrosters. Intuition told me if you want a cold weaterh car, buy one designed in Sweeden. My intuition did not fail me. If you live in a clod climate, you cannot go wrong with a Volvo. The only thing I dont like about driving it in Minnesota is I cant stand to see it dirty!

  Worst car I have ever owned - 2001 Volvo S60
  By TURNER - August 1 - 12:33 am

  This car had more problems than I care to think about. I babied this car and still had sensors go bad, sunroof broken, transmission go bad at 80000 miles, lights burnt out and impossible to adjust. And last but not least, the cars engine was shuttering when I traded it in, my guess, bad turbo charger. The gas mileage was decent, but nothing spectacular. 19 city and 28 highway.

  By high school speedste - June 9 - 2:00 am

  Since my dad crashed the car I was going to drive he went out and boughtme the 2.4T for safety, and I love it. It is the most comfortable car ive ever been in and it has a spectacular 10 speaker sound system. It is kind of a soccer mom car but still the kind of car thats perfect to own and all my friends are envious.

  s60 3rd volvo - 2001 Volvo S60
  By lisaX3 - June 7 - 10:00 am

  S60 my third Volvo. Had 240, then 940. S60 has driving fun, but interior is small compared to previous Volvo. Doors dent at the slightest pressure. Previous Volvos exterior body structure was sturdier. Rear view visibility obscured by rear headrest. Have the auto drop for rear headrest, but that looks funny. Fearful that Ford has diluted Volvos character& reliability.
