2001 Volvo S60 T5 Summum Geartronic review from France
"A discreet high-performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Software upgrade on geartronic gearbox (Warranty)
Software upgrade of GSM device (Warranty)
Some squeaky noises coming from back (unresolved yet)
General comments?
Ever dreamed of a fast, comfortable and which still have some sporty handling.
The S60 T5 is one of such cars. The 250 hp turbo-engine is incredible. It can just embed your head in the headrest, or can be incredibly smooth while driving on the torque.
The seats are one of the best I ever tested. Not as hard a German ones, but still firm enough.
Audio installation (Pack audio max option) is also terrific and worth the price.
