2006 Volvo S60 2.5t review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car used just over a year ago. Due to high fuel cost I needed to trade in my Ford F150. The Volvo was supposed to get better gas mileage than similar cars in the same class, which may be true, however the cost of repairs is almost as bad as paying for fuel when it reached $4.00 a gallon.
I've had to replace my front and rear brakes and rotors; $500.00 for the front and $480.00 for the back.
I have to replace my radiator, cost $1,080.
Other minor repairs include fuses (there are 4 fuse panels in this car), rear position lights (what ever they are), wheel alignment, $100.00 and tires about $660.00.
If I had to do it over, I would NOT purchase another Volvo. The maintenance costs are outrageous.
