Bought the S60 in May 2007. Liked the car as soon as I saw it. It was a 2.0T so performance was pretty good. Would have been better had it been a bit lighter though. Used it mainly for going to work and the occasional road trip. Wasn't particularly fun to drive and being front wheel drive there were some grip issues, but it was very comfortable, well equipped and great at motorway cruising. Had a couple of minor issues but overall reliability was very good. Running costs were the main issue. Servicing and insurance wasn't cheap and it averaged 26mpg. I'd had the car almost a year when I sold it. I didn't want to sell it but I couldn't justify keeping it. Overall this car did cost me a fair amount of money but I don't care cos when someone asks me what my first car was I'll say it was a Volvo S60, and it was brilliant.

I drove the Volvo S60 for about two years and greatly enjoyed the time I spent in this car. The car averaged an impressive 31 MPG on the highway and about 24 MPG city. the cabin is relatively quiet and all the controls are conveniently located on the dash and are in reach at all times. The steering wheel audio controls came in handy on a daily basis as well as the on board computer that displays car information including: average speed, distance before next gas fill up, and average and instantaneous fuel economy. The handling is well tuned and tight enough to allow maximum handling and the brakes stop the car on a dime.

Good acceleratoin, extreme comfort, permium sound system, repaired for 4K $ in 1 year (In Norway, not that much), done 265 000 KM. Great for both long roadtrips and driving to the store. Fantastic look and style. Best care ive owned so far..
