2006 Volvo S60 R review from North America
"Unusually poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission needed to be fully replaced at just over 60,000 miles. ($5,500, without labor)
Trunk release needed to be replaced in order to repair blown bulb illuminating license plate. (~$280)
Seat belt receiver on drivers seat replaced due to fault. (~$300)
General comments?
Over $7500 repair costs in first 1.5 years of owning car! I bought the vehicle brand new from the dealer, and absolutely loved the car. After about 60,000 miles things started going wrong, (including transmission!) and of course, warranty ran out at 50,000 miles.
Very poor reliability. Would not recommend Volvo.
