Used Volvo S60 for Sale

The car drives very smoothly and relatively quietly. It is a heavier car, which can be felt in the easy manner in which the car handles turns. Even though it has a smaller 4 cylinder engine, it makes up for it with the turbo and accelerates quite quickly. The interior leather is nice and has held up with minimal maintenance. Though I'd prefer a USB hookup for digital music, the car does provide an AV jack that allows for digital music players to be used in the car. The trunk is very spacious, and we have been able to fit a large amount of hiking/camping gear in it on several occasions. The car does a good job through its alert screen in reminding the driver to get regular or special maintenance done. The screens also provide interesting and useful information, such as overall and instantaneous gas mileage and how many miles are left until the tank is empty.

I owned a 2002 Volvo s60. As a person who really, really dislikes white colored cars, my white Volvo wasn't that bad looking of a car. It had the black trim or accents on the sides that really pulled the look of the car together. It was spacious inside, although I can easily say that as I was always sitting in the drivers seat. I've had many people as passengers in the back seats complain that there was no leg room. I've had to sleep in the back of the car and I believe they had what was called bucket styled seats? But they were really shallow in the middle which made it extremely uncomfortable to sleep in. I wouldn't recommend doing that. And of course since I bought the car used it had its troubles. The computer part of the instrument panel stopped working maybe a month after I had bought the car. It was a cool feature to have as it told me what was going on with the car but it randomly would scramble up until the day it stopped working completely. I loved the layout of the inside of the car though. My mother owns a newer Volvo and they have certainly made huge improvements over the year. Overall its a great car and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I chose this car after test driving similar makes/models, including the BMW 3 series and Audi 4. The Volvo had a much higher quality interior and felt much more spacious. Of the three vehicles, the Volvo and BMW felt similar in power, but the Audi had noticeably less pick-up. Also, the BMW and Volvo had a similar solid feel in their construction. At higher speeds, the Volvo had the strongest acceleration responsiveness. At similar price points, the Volvo also offered more "luxury options," like sun roof, leather seats, heated seats, and wood trim. Technology was similar in all three, but the Volvo had additional safety features, such as their proximity override when something crosses in front of the vehicle. In city driving, I have had the vehicle automatically brake when a dog or child has darted out in front of the vehicle. I have been driving this car for almost four years, and I have been very happy with the quality. I have not had any mechanical issues other than scheduled maintenance, and the car drives just as well today as it did when I bought it in 2011. My only critique of this car is that the leather driving seat, which gets more wear than any of the others, has worn faster than I would have thought it should, and it shows scuffs that affect the look of the interior.
