I've owned this car for a year now (2006 model). The S60 is a nice looking and car still looks good although it's been around a while, especially in black. Nice coupe look to it even though a four door.
The interior has a nice unpretentious quality about it and the seats are wonderful - I believe one car mag survey voted them best seasts of any car in the world.
Exterior is typical volvo quality somehow manages to look a cut above mid-range cars.
The 2.4 D5 diesel engine is an absolute gem (at least so far). Nice sound to it ;hard to believe it's a diesel. It's truly punchy and can surprise you with its acceleration and eats up motorway miles easily. (0-60 approx 8.0secs. Top speed 143mph)
The best thing for me is the fuel consumption I regularly get 41 - 43 in general driving. But most remarkably on a recent motorway drive from Northumbria to London of 330 miles I got 62mpg!!!
Admittedly there were no hold ups at all on the journey and I drove carefully but not too slowly. I filled up before I left and drove 660 miles in total there and back and still had a weeks worth of petrol for gadding about on. At the start of the journey I had to drive many miles in a 50mph zone and reached 67.5 mpg. If I'd carried on all the way at that speed i felt sure I could have achieved 70mpg.
The disadvantages of this car are the smallish boot entry access ( but it has compensating depth), I suppose this is due to the snappy coupe styling. And the tendency to get through bulbs, as I've heard, although I've only replaced one. But it was quite fiddley to replace.
