Faults:

Turbo Seals at 95000km and radiator and engine mounts at same time - I got the warranty though so all covered otherwise it would have been $NZ1500+

General Comments:

I get lots of comments from passengers like "wow this is fast for a Volvo!" 250BHP/170kw makes for good fun!

Very comfortable, nice looks, a bit on the expensive side to maintain though if you don't have a warranty!

Faults:

Minor problems as the car has been very reliable.

The remote key is not very durable as the screw on it is come unloosen occasionally.

We had to change the front Pirelli's after 29000 km's.

The driver door started to make noise when door was opened. I fixed it by tightening its bolt.

General Comments:

S60 is the most stylish Volvo sedan ever.

S60 SE is extremely comfortable highway cruiser. I just did with my friends yesterday a 500 km round trip with the car. We were all impressed how refreshing we felt after the drive.

The leather seats are so comfy and spacious. I am a tall bloke and it is difficult to find a car that provides leg room + nice seats for the tall drivers/passengers. However the legroom at the back is non-existent if you have tall people sitting at the front.

The dual zone climate air con is very well designed and it provides soothing cool clean air.

It is not a quick car of the mark, but it pulls effortlessly from 30km/h onwards.

The space ball manual shifter is a very cool design.

These Volvo's have a bad depreciation cost, but you won't be disappointed if you buy a second hand one.

Faults:

Front cup holder catch failed.

General Comments:

This is a beautiful car both inside and out and also very quick.

Seat comfort is outstanding and general cabin controls and ergonomics excellent, making it very easy to drive.

Top class audio and air conditioning..

Handling and ride are very good and the car is a superb tourer.

Fuel economy is excellent (11.5 litres/100km. city, 7.5 litres/100km. country) giving nearly 900km. touring range.
