2001 Volvo S60 2.4T review from UK and Ireland
"Gives the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series a good run for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn out a set of front tires.
New headlamp bulb!
Trip computer reporting error - warns of a non-existent dead light bulb.
Interior trim to headlining re-fixed at first inspection - very minor fault - the dealer noticed it, not I.
General comments?
Very comfortable long distance car.
Excellent performance that tends to surprise other road users.
Handling in bad conditions - e.g. wet and high winds, exemplary.
Very high standard of cabin fit and finish (we took leather upholstery, air conditioning and top of the range stereo set).
Climate control very good indeed, especially de-misting and defrosting.
