2001 Volvo S60 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2001 Volvo S60 appreciate its safety, luxury feel, and enjoyable driving experience. They particularly like the comfort, handling, and the solid build quality that makes it feel safe and secure on the road. However, some drivers mentioned drawbacks like limited cargo space, average fuel efficiency, and a somewhat slow acceleration. A few also pointed out that the interior could feel a bit cheap with plastic materials."
...the first one saved my life so I turned around and bought a second one. I love this car for me it's a nice blend of sporty luxury sedan that's fun to drive, amazingly safe and great cost to operate including excellent gas mileage. Highly recommend it. If you want more interior room in the back seat check out the Volvo S80. 5 ***** (stars)
August 3, 2007Excellent car, quiet, fast, subtle (maybe a little too subtle), built like a tank
March 19, 2008Have a 2.0L Turbo. Great car. Handles really great. Great performance and can easily over cars here in LKA. Has clocked 145,000 kms and still drives like a champ. No troubles. Make sure to regularly do the services. Also check the bushes as they don't last very long

September 30, 2010Tons of air bags; did the european delivery program with it and that was awesome! One of a few cars with a manual transmission that is quick. Very comfortable inside. For a volvo the styling is exception, particularly the seats.
July 15, 2009Acceleration.. too slow for a normal boost (0.8 bar) Braking- excellent Handling - well, its volvo, wat do u expect?? Build quality is fine, except there is squeaking sound below the glove-box, something very common for S60 cars No problem about the appearance, I Like! Gas mileage is ok, for a 247hp car, you would expect the gas consumption like one. But the maintenance is quite costly, every few months there will be something to be repaired or replaced. However, considering the age of the car (11 years), it is widely expected. FUN FACTOR: It depends. For highway, I'll rate the car at 8 out of 10. For A road and B road type, I will say 7 out of 10.
April 16, 2012Solid, well designed. Pininfarina Design. Safe, and rides quiet. It's 10 yrs old and it rides like it's on air. A luxury sedan with the bones of a sports car, quick and fun. The seat are by far the most comfortable seats Ive ever seen. STC, WTC, 4 wheel disc, 5cyl Turbo. Tiptronic transmission, sport mode is a total different machine. very fun!
November 26, 2010Leather, Heated Seats, Moonroof, Memory Power Driver's Seat, Keyless Entry, Automatic Fold-Down Rear Headrests, and it's Safe!
March 19, 2008Never any major problems, just oil changes/ general maintenance. Also, still looks relatively new even though it's 8 years old because Volvo only very recently did a major redesign on the S60. Also, generally average to good gas mileage, also has large tank so I don't have to fill up very often.
July 16, 2008normal car, interior is mostly plastic. the style was nice back in '01. mine has alot of electrical issues with the lights front and back. safety hasn't been a concern since i havent been in a car accident in it yet.
October 22, 2009It's slow. No balls. Handles good.
