General Comments:

Well, we bought this car as a replacement for our Pug 306. Our initial goal was to go for an S40 diesel, but ended up with this as all the S40s we looked were total crap.

This was imported to Sri Lanka in 2005 as a used car from the UK, and basically I'm the second owner in Sri Lanka.

The previous owners had neglected to maintain the car properly, and the interior of the car is in bad shape. Though the seats and all are good, the dashboard, door cards and switch panels all seem to be in need of replacement.

But the audio setup and the rest works completely fine. Has superb braking, even with worn out pads & rotors. Sometimes I fear that someone might rear-end me because of the stopping power.

The engine is powerful too. This is the fastest car I've driven and owned. It lets you overtake when needed, and gives that extra power when required.

One of the complaints that I have is that the car is very low to the ground. It may be good for Europe/USA and the likes, but for us where we have uneven roads and large pot holes, the car gets rubbed on the underside.

Faults:

Gear box had to be replaced at 105000 km. Cost a fortune with the dealer.

Car makes a noise going over bumps.

Front left indicator bulb connection is loose and gives a warning message to replace the bulb.

General Comments:

Rear leg room is really too little.

Performance and safety is good.

Faults:

Passenger door handle retaining bolt sheared off by repeated (very) hard slamming that saw my girl grounded!

Fuel level display indicator not functioning.

General Comments:

A road warrior, incognito - very cheap project car.

Best looking saloon with styling features simply not witnessed in other manufacturer's products.

Little money required to turn this S60 2.0T into a muscle car with double the torque of an Accord Type R (UK spec), and a touch more BHP through traction control that the Honda does not include as standard.

Police and vandals seem to look past you, in search of more obvious targets.
