Volvo S60 (00-08) - Review Review by David Ross on 15 Oct 2008 Last Updated: 15 Apr 2009 3.5 Few cars can match the all-round quality offered by German saloons, but the Volvo S60 comes close. There's nothing revolutionary about it - it's a straightforward saloon with a boot, but it's robustly constructed, comfortable on the move and has a neatly styled and easy to use cabin.
