2006 Volvo S60 User Reviews

Pros

satisfactory fuel economy, especially on hiway

Cons

- sun visors don't help much, too small

- overall, was very satisfied, despite small problems for the first 2 years...headlight wipers, the windshield wipers, then leather seats, then a few rattles...all of which were covered by warranty.

- Now that everything is fixed, i love the car.
- great handling, satisfactory gas consumption.

- added a few add-ons to make it stand out (ie. twin mufflers, rear spoiler, body kit)
- now heads turn even more as people seem confused as to the type of volvo

- Stock pirelli 4 season tires aren't so great...read morehide

Cons

none

my 06 t5 is the best car i have ever driven. i drove a 93 taurus SHO for 10 years. i test drove lots of cars the only cars that had an engine as responsive with more power an more luxurious / sports package was the acura TL an the s60 T5 with volvo best in all areas over the TL .i now have 7500 trouble free miles on it. best of all its more fun to drive then my bmw motocycle an its just as fun at 50mph as it is at 120 thats the the best part. If you think volvos are built like the rest look under the car at how detailed an finished it is compared to other cars i think you will be amazed at the quality...read morehide

Pros

Awesome Power, handling/control, comfort, and style in one classy package

Cons

Gas hungry if you're heavy on the throttle

Refined enough to show up at special events, nimble enough to take on whatever the weather feels like throwing at it, and powerful enougrh to take on aggressors in stealthy style. Extrempely fun to drive and an awesome overall value.

May not translate the road like its German equivalents, gives them a run for their money in quickness and agility in any weather.

Did I mention "safe as a Volvo" too?...read morehide

Pros

Everything iniside and out is exactly where it needs to be, Never have I been happier with an car.

Cons

It's better than my wife's 2007 nissan Maxima, by comfort and quality.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWN. I HAVE HAD 9 CARS IN THE PART 7 YEARS AND THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME BUYING ANY OTHER VEHICLE OTHER THAN A VOLVO.

Pros

Design, Adjustable Suspension, Seats, Blue Dials, AWD, Performance, Sound System, Exhaust, Rims

Cons

TURNING RADIUS, Tiny Back Seat, Tire Wear, Needs true Bluetooth Integration

I traded in my G35 Coupe for this car about 6 months ago and have loved every minute I’ve had with this fantastic Volvo. While I don't get as many people asking me about my car, the few who know love it. This car is beautifully designed, has power to impress and some of the greatest seats ever made.

I love the sound the Exhaust and Turbo make when you floor the throttle at a stop light, the look of astonishment when you pull away from the lesser sedans that thought they could easily take on a Volvo is PRICELESS....read morehide

Pros

Acceleration, speed and quick torque on hand at low rev, handling, snow lover and a champion on dryt

Cons

Tires and turn Radius

I love it.

But, Idont like the too large turning radius and the Tire supplier cll me by my first name.

I had all kind of sports car in my life and it is the best ever and with style.

A real sleeper and better than M3 because of super handling in the snow.

Pros

Beautiful design (w/ Sport Body Package), Exhiliraring power, Powerful brakes, AWD, Great stereo

Cons

Turning radius is awful, Little rear legroom

Amazing car! Incredibly quick, amazing exterior and interior looks, amazing sound system, gages are beautiful, powerful brakes, sharp rims, awd system definetly keeps the car grounded. An huge bargain for its price compared to its counterparts. Definetly go overseas delivery if you have the chance, nothing beat zipping by BMW's on the autobahn....read morehide
