What Our Members Are Saying about Volvo S60 Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Volvo S60: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
Interior is well made and high quality. Could use a bit more styling... |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Apart from poorly designed front-end our S60 2.5T has been bulletproof. All major items appear to be built to last. Of better quality than the Lexus RX I used to own - which I feel is high praise. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
The use of High strength steel,Vault like doors, paint quality. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
clean and nice design |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
High quality materials throughout. Just like and BMW |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Everything feels so solid, and the feel,smell, and look of all the materials does not feel cheap at all. You feel like you are in something that cost what you paid for. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Convertible top still looks like new after 6 years. Glass rear window. Trouble free engine. Smooth shifting transmission. 12 yr corrosion warranty. Free of rattles and annoying trim issues. |
| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Sitting in this and operating the switches and feeling the materials is a pleasurable experience. High-quality all the way around. |
