Most Reliable
I love this car. I have never had any major issues with it since I purchased it used. Anything I did was maintenance (breaks, tires, etc). only complaints I do have would be that the bulbs of the breaks and headlights have burned out faster than they have in the past with other cars I have owned. And small parts like windshield wipers, you cannot cheap out on. Only Volvo's use the most expensive wipers. But I can think of much worse problems to have with a car!

A Used S60 Is a FANTASTIC first car.
Although the S40 is smaller the S60 is an incredible vehicle. It is stylish, but more important is the safety inherent in all Volvos. It is very comfortable with EXCELLENT visibility, easy to drive and plenty of power without being overstated (R model excluded LOL). You can get it in AWD, Automatic, 5 speed, turbo charged and not (although the AWD is by default a turbo). The center seat position in the back is also an arm rest and a passthrough to the trunk for long items. The rear seats also fold down for carrying the large loads. They handle beautifully and are an excellent value. The down side is leg room in the rear.

Great first car to own
This vehicle is a great first car. I use it everyday to go to my school with a 45 mins commute. I absolutely love the reliability of a long time standing company, Volvo. World-renowned for their safety this car is amazing. I love the turbocharged 5 cylinder engine giving it plenty of acceleration. The only thing that I do not like is the handling. While its plenty good enough for the standard drive, I tend to drive a little faster and like something with slightly better handling. Overall- great car.

Amazing comfort..
Love my Volvo. I can see why people are so loyal to Volvo. Seats are INCREDIBLE. You will be hard-pressed to find seats more comfortable.

Over 200K
I bought my AWD S60 2.5T with about 35k miles on it. I now have about 208,000 and its still running strong. I have had to replace some of the front end components i.e. axle, wheel bearings, and tie rods. When you do the maintenance yourself with the help of youtube its pretty inexpensive. The AWD system works great in the rain and snow. Gas mileage is acceptable for a car of this size. The space for backseat passengers is very limited if the driver has any height and moves the seat back.

Great first car
Turning 16 a couple months ago, I was on the market for my first car. Probably a used one. I wanted something simple, cheap, safe, and reliable. Nothing that would break the bank but nothing that wouldn?t last me a while. As a new driver, I hate being up high off the ground, so I decided I prefered mid - size sedans to vehicles like vans, trucks, or SUVs. Then I came across a car by word of my parents. The Scandinavian made 2007 Volvo s60. This car has everything I was looking for in a first car to be used in basic commuting, like getting to school or work. My favorite part is that it has the power of a six cylinder with 208 horse - power, but the advantage of having five cylinders with turbo to save on gas milage. Speaking of gas mileage, it gets a fantastic 19 - 23 in the city and 24 - 30 on the highway. It saves even more gas because the turbo doesn?t kick in unless you really need it (Over 5000 RPM) like when you?re running late for the big game. This car is fantastic on the highway because it?s small, easy to maneuver, simple to operate, and very safe with a 4.6 out of 5 safety rating. Even with all of these great features, with it being an older car there are some downsides to it. To start with, the first thing I noticed was the backseat legroom, or, the lack thereof. There is almost no backseat leg - room I could actually use to put things in. The large trunk size does compensate for the lack of space in the back, but I can?t just stuff my friends in the trunk. Not legally anyways. Another con to this car is that, with 16? tall wheels made from an alloy or a metal made from two different metal elements. It doesn?t handle bumps too well either. You can feel every little crack or bump in the road. Also, the handling is an older style that isn?t as advanced as cars these days. It is front wheel drive so the car is controlled entirely by the two front wheels, but it?s an older style because of how the steering wheel is less sensitive. It makes it a bit harder to make those sharper turns. Volvo does do a great job with this car but they describe it as luxury which it most definitely is not. It has leather seats, but the steering wheel is very basic and it just has a basic digital clock near the speedometer. So, although it?s a fantastic car, there really isn?t anything that stands out as luxury on this car. This being the case, unless it?s a first car or used just to get from place to place, it might not be the car you?re looking for. It?s just a very average, mid - size sedan with good gas milage. Overall, I really liked this car. If you?re on the market for a new car and you come across one of these with low milage it?s a fantastic choice for an automobile.

Praise for Performance Imports/2007 Volvo S60!
Volvo S60 a great car, despite (too) wide turning radius and minimal back seat legroom. The 2007 is great, and Performance Imports in Danbury, CT is a wonderful dealer! Michael and Diane are thorough, thoughtful, honest, and their used cars are immaculate. A great experience that I recommend.
