Been looking for a couple of months now and finally took the plunge. It is a 2003 S60 2.4T. So far I loving it more than I thought I would.

What has floored me on the S60 is the fit, and finish. My S60 was my first "post-Ford" Volvo, and I'll admit I was worried, but these cars rock.

Yes, the post-Ford Volvo had me worried too. But I haven't regretted my S60 for a moment.
A friend, who is a true Volvo afficianado (besides actually being Swedish, he likes to get 250,000+ miles per car, and wears the badges to prove it), said that the only thing he had noticed about Volvos post-Ford is that the lights in the doors (which shined onto the street when they were open) were removed. Oh well. I can live with that omission. Now, to my mind, I don't want to drive a car for more than 100,000 miles, so my S60 will get sold in about two years. But I can tell that she is good for three or four times that. Maybe we'll stay together after all. |

Beautiful car..... Same color as mine!!
just a piece of random advice: It looks like your side trim is starting to fade like my '04: Your side molding can be revived using "Meguiars Hot Shine" tire spray. I know it sounds weird, but the can has an adjustable nozzle that is almost perfect. Just have a rag ready to catch the small amount of overspray, and it'll look great for weeks. |
