Expert’s verdict

Rosamond Contributing editor

WHILE many drivers rush to drive exec saloons from Audi, BMW or Mercedes, not everyone wants to be part of the herd. The Volvo S60 may not be as on point as its rivals from a sporty driver’s perspective, but fans of the marque will focus more on the S60’s superbly comfortable cabin and the relaxing way it wafts away the miles These cars are in relatively short supply, and hold their value well, so buyers clearly know a good thing when they see it.

Reliability

WE’RE not aware of any significant issues affecting the Mk3 S60, apart from the minor recalls mentioned on page 101 High brand satisfaction among owners suggests you should have a relatively carefree experience – service costs aside.
