2002 Volvo S60 2.4 Liter review from North America

This is a used S60, so there were a few minor things that needed to be fixed, i.e. a rear stereo speaker cover, fog-light covers, things like that. The dealer was more than willing to take care of it.

I did a lot of research on the Volvo product before I decided to purchase a used S60. The car I owned before this was a Chevrolet Cavalier. (It's like going from a greasy truck stop hamburger to a filet mignon.)

Handles beautifully, great visibility at night. The driver's side door controls are within easy reach (unlike the Toyota Camry, which I also considered buying) The legroom is very spacious and for someone who is short, the knees fit perfectly under the steering wheel. Also, if a woman is planning to have a baby, the Volvo is a great choice for comfort and safety during those last few months. The telescoping wheel is a great feature. It corners really well, and the base engine is quite adequate for regular city driving. I have no need for a turbo. Rear legroom is a little tighter than in the Camry, but the trunk is extremely spacious. The front end is sleek and sporty looking. I had a much better buying experience at the Volvo dealership than others in town. I spent more than I set out to, but the way I was treated made all the difference.
