Advantages: Style, performance, comfort, good economy for performance, well built Disadvantages: Not S60 prime model
...and I) really wanted a Volvo S60, but not as it happens, this the most powerful 220bhp 2.4 litre T5 Sport version. 15 years ago I would have not looked at a Volvo fullstop. However if the S60 had then been on the market, this the fastest one would have been my natural choice. Maturity and certain financial commitments now mean that I am inclined to make far more rational choices when it comes to choosing a car, no matter if I pay for it, or is currently ... ...stock.
How does a Volvo S60 review fall in with the above thinking? Well Volvo are actually a highly enlightened company when it comes to power choices for their stylish upper-mid range four door saloon. There are three choices of petrol engines, starting at a perfectly adequate 180bhp 2.0 litre (31.7mpg average consumption - pretty good), through a 217bhp 2.5 litre (31mpg) to this the 220bhp 2.4 litre, which according to Volvo will still average ...

I booked my test drive through Volvo and duly arrived at the showroom at the appointed hour to drive it. The ... ...I have owned a Volvo before and you can read my review of the S40 I had. My experience with that car was not good. I have also provided test reports on the S70 which is an excellent car and also the S80 which was disappointing. I did offer to take the test convertible (C70) for the weekend if they needed it testing but I think he sensed I was not really in the market for that.

...second to non. My second Volvo now and its fantastic. The spec inside is incredible, full leather, electronic memory movement and heated seats, dual climate control front and rear, cruise control, 4 disc Cd changer with steering mounted control, electronic trip and information center displays every little bit of info you require about your journey, from boot not closed to front headlamp failure or seatbelts not on. the list goes on and on. Performance ... ...can think of due to a 0-62mph time of 6.1 seconds, all in a car with beautifully understated sleek line, and on to a restricted speed of 155mph.
