Volvo S60 (00-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Leased for three years, so didn't feel the depreciation, but high mileage really pushed the re-sale price down.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    New tyres a couple of times a year, and servicing is expensive. You do get what you pay for though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great drive for a large car, fun on country roads, and a real mile cruncher on the motorway.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great performance for a 2.0 in a large car.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    115,000 miles hassle free, recently had a problem with the aircon - all sorted by the dealer.

    Used to be an ""old mans car"" now seen as a viable alternative to ""Mondeo Man""

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The best seats I've ever had in a car - comfortable even after 5 hours in a traffic jam.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    no break ins, and the boot cannot be accessed from within the passanger space with the locks set in the boot..

    Main dealer has been near perfect, even when I have been vague about the fault.
