2001 Volvo S60 T5 review from North America
"A solid, safe and reliable car, with some power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only minor problems. The retractable cup holder has broken twice, and the exterior lights have a bad habit of dying prematurely.
General comments?
An excellent car.
Only minor repairs have been required, though they are more frequent than I would like. Dealer took care of them under warranty with no problems.
Very comfortable and reliable car.
The turbo is great, though the car is so heavy it's still a little sluggish.
