2006 Volvo S60 R.

ricer angles because i love them.




great car for the money, nice interior, great quality, awesome suspension. although i wish you felt the power a bit more, you cant beat it for the price.

B-or-ing.... The car not your photography. My wife has an '02 S60 T5 (2.5L turbo) and I'm sorely disappointed in it after 4 years of ownership. Since Ford took over the quality has gone down the toilet. My BMW and Audi have been more durable and engineered far better. Granted the M3 and S4 cost a lot more, but I expected European quality when I paid nearly $40K for a vehicle. Stuff has started falling off and we've had to replace the ignition key tumbler assembly which actually never functioned right, to the tune of $600. The H-A/C blower motor has been known to turn on all by itself while the car is sitting in the garage and run for an hour or so for no apparent reason. Sorry Ford, but this will be my last Volvo.

Have they tightened the turning radius any? My wifes car is a friggin boat in that department. The turbo lag seems horrible to me, but I'm used to 350 NA HP under my right foot, so I might not be a good judge

Nice shots Matt. I do like the styling even if the interior feels more cramped than my S4.

Haha, that was the first thing I told Matt when I picked him up yesterday. The thing has the turning radius of a cruise ship!!

Here's one of mine, pardon the jpeg compression. <3 the ricer angles too.

wow if you think this car was cheap, i wonder what you would think of the 67k jaguar stype r we had last week.

Great shots! I love that color. We looked at an S60 for my wife but ended up with a 2005 Mustang GT. My wife didn't even gripe to much when I installed a supercharger and flowmaster exhaust, 390hp 410ft lbs torque! Now if I could just convince her to let me drive it? (one little ticket for 140 in a 65, go figure?)
