2002 Volvo S60 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Great performance, luxury and different to the German barge!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken cup holder, but that was my fault, tried to squeeze a bigger bottle in than would fit.
General comments?
I was looking around for a well priced luxury saloon with decent performance, where I live the Mercedes' and BMW's are commonplace, putting me off.
The S60 is a very nice car indeed, the automatic transmission shifts nicely, its fast and handles well. The 17" alloys in the UK are essential and make the car what it is.
I am very proud of the car and would recommend one over a BMW or Mercedes any day as its different, but just as good when it comes to comfort and space and it has excellent performance in comparison.
I find the heated leather seats are excellent, the dashboard (angled toward the driver) is superb and it is the best car I have ever owned.
