"My 2006 S60 is less than one year old, purchased new and I am looking for a new, safe car. I was not informed by appropriate parties before my purchase that when debri such as mud or snow accumulates in the tire rims that the car feels like the wheels are severely out of balance. The steering wheel will shake like I am holding on to a jackhammer and it is necessary to immediately decrease speed. I also was not told until after purchase, that if a tire(s) seize up due to excess moisture in the wheelwells, brake area, or from getting the car washed, that I should step on the gas to free the tires. Does this sound safe to you? Safety was the main reason for my Volvo purchase but there is nothing safe about these problems and I rate Volvo safety at a minimum. This is my first and last Volvo. I notified the National Transportation Safety Bureau so it is now in their hands."

"Who knew Volvo could compete with the Audi S4 and the BMW M3? Plus it is 13 to 16 K less expensive. Unreal engine and brakes, excellent 6-speed manual transmission great interior except for the roof liner material (looks like it came from Ford). The 4C adjustable suspension is a marvel, great technology. Just wish it was a coupe instead of a sedan. Changed OEM tiresand car drove much better. Volvo should offer a choice of tires. Hope the rumors that Volvo is discontiuning the R are false."

"I was shopping for another Saturn, the Aura. Been a Saturn owner for 13 years. Really liked the Aura when a friend of ours, who works for Ford, offered me a PIN number to look at their family of cars. I drove the Volvo S40 first and hated it. Great starter car, but its not a Volvo. Then drove the S60 and fell in love. What a nice car. It is such a pleasure to be in. Great pick up, smooth performance. Only thing to complain about is extras for the iPod kit and window tinting. Everything else I could want is in there and the few extra dollars don't seem to matter when you love driving in it."

"Recently drove 1600 miles in three days. Very comfortable, easy to spend long hours behind the wheel without becoming overly fatigued. Needs more leg room for the back seat. 31 mpg @ posted speed limits."

"This is my second volvo and the improvements on the 2006 are tremendous. By far this is the favorite of all of the cars I have owned. Only downfall is the turning radius- I can live with that. Excellent vehicle!"
