Highly reliable. Never let me down over 15 yrs.

I loved everything about the car. But it is a 2005 and does not have the safety and navigation features my children tell me I need. (I'm 75.) Otherwise I would keep it.

Really reliable car

The car works great. Everything works good. There is absolutely no issue with the car. There is good amount of boot space and legroom in the car. All tires are new.

Secon best after S80 T6 AWD.

I had over 300,000 mile without major issues. Oil, filter, Timing belt kit(timing belt, water pump, idler and tensioner) and transmission fluid. Normal maintenance. Hooked on Volvos for life.

Safe, fuel efficient, performance car.

Bought this turbo charged Volvo used. Previous owner took excellent, meticulous, care of it. Dashboard looked new, leather seats appeared rarely used. The exterior shined like a garaged, pampered, vehicle. It drove and felted like an almost new car. Glad I found it and did not hesitate to buy it!

Brembo brakes and a 5 cylinder turbo 300hp sedan

This car exceded my expectations, the adjusting suspension made it for me, with 3 diffrent modes comfort sport and advance, when i'm feeling risky I put the car on advance and it hugs the road like no other car I've driven before and for long trips I put it in comfort and it rides like a cadalic

Most dependable vehicle I have owned.

This car met all my needs. It was roomy and comfortable. Got good gas mileage and the turbo was lots of fun. This was a very reliable and dependable vehicle. I drove it mostly on the highway and was never left stranded.

I love this Volvo!

I have always had Volvo's. This S60 is a great car. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 on performance is that the turning radius is different from my 1998 T5 Volvo 780 (yes, I still have that one... it is a work horse!!!). The person that buys this car will get new tires and alignment, total window tinting (including clear on the windshield), new front brakes and tune up and it only has 125,000 miles! If you love this car half as much as I do you'll be in good shape!
