2003 Volvo S60 D5 SE review from UK and Ireland
"After 3 years this car still feels the same as when it was delivered its a solid car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major or anything that needed to be done outside of normal servicing. Minor gripe the automatic dimming rear view mirror had a software upgrade as it was not dimming enough for my liking I had to pay for this as it was not considered to be a fault.
General comments?
Loads of power from the 2.4 D5 engine and fantastic fuel economy unless your right foot is planted to the floor.
Best seats in the world. A comfortable and rewarding drive. Some comments have been made about the poor turning circle and its true, but it does not spoil the experience. It is not the only car in the world with this particular issue.
Rear legroom not great, but OK for kids.
If you like music the SE has an incredible Dolby Pro Logic surround sound system.
Due to the massive torque the D5 eats front tyres or maybe its my driving style? My journey to work is mainly down country lanes this must contribute to the tyre wear.
