Volvo S60 2001Change

suprized by volvo s60 performance and fuel economy

good styling and comfortable car. Sleeper performance with the 2.3l 5 cylinder turbo motor.

Awesome leather seats I think the best I have ever sat in. I have good in many road trips with the car and always impressed.

I drive 75 km each way to work and car does that easily. I have put 100000 km in last 2years.

Bad thing, volvos depreciate in price very fast but the parts always stay extremely expensive and very hard to find

I have been driving this car for nearly 15 years now. Overall I am pretty happy with it. Unfortunately though reading a lot of forums online, there seem to be a common issue that the "electricals" don't work so well on the vehicle. Lights will burn out faster than they normally do, powered windows may sometimes stop responding, AC may crap out. And I"ve had some issue with the transmission where I had to do a few repair on it. Fuel economy is not bad, but European cars are never really known for that aspect. So those are the down sides...

Upside is that the car is super safe. A few times I got into minor accidents or when I got hit, the car barely had any dents in it while the other vehicle suffers a lot more damage than my s60 did. And the styling of the car I must say is still pretty descent even in today's standard!

I purchased this car as a daily commute to school. It isn't the best on gas, but probably the best car for reliability. It doesn't seem to amuse me any day. The Volvo will exceed your expectations in every way possible.

This is my daily commuter car, and the one I use for road trips. On my last journey, I encountered an unexpected patch of black ice, and despite spinning out, and hitting a barrier, the car recovered, without so much as a scratch. I was amazed.
