2007 Volvo S60 Review

Engineered to satisfy a range of tastes, the 2007 Volvo S60 luxury sports sedan is for the sports car enthusiast with a civilized side. Delivered in three models, the 2.5T, T5, and the R, the 2007 V60 sports one of three engine configurations: a 208 hp, a 257 hp. and a 300 hp powerplant. V60 2.5T offers a 2.5 liter 5-cylinder engine that produces 208 hp @ 5000 rpm and 236 lb-ft torque @ 4500 rpm. The S60 5T has a 2.4 liter 5-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 257 hp @5500 rpm and 258 lb-ft torque @5000 rpm. Finally, the 2007 S60 R comes with a 2.4 liter engine that produces 300 hp @5500 rpm and 295 lb-ft torque @5250 rpm.

The interior of the 2007 Volvo S60 is extremely well-fitting and impeccably styled with comfortable seats, a split folding rear seat, and ergonomically situated instrumentation. To ensconce your passengers in luxury, the Volvo S60 is outfitted with armrests, cup holders, vanity mirrors, climate control, and outlets for a number of electrical appliances. How often do you kick yourself for not installing a compass in the rear view mirror. Now you have one.

Good fortune shines upon the S60 owner who enjoys such safety features as traction control, day running lamps, steel frame construction, steel door frames, passenger crumple zones, side curtain airbags, and child seat attachment d-rings. All S60s are equipped with redundant security systems such as roadside assistance, an electronic security matrix, and a tire pressure safety system.

Walk around the S60 once and that tells all. The 2007 S60 has color matched external features, tinted windows, and a spectacular quality paint. The 2007 Volvo S60 fuel economy specs show a low end of 17 mpg in the city for the turbocharged S60 R to 30 mpg on the highway for the base 2.5T. For a family sports sedan like the Volvo S60, you get a lot for your money, uncompromising quality, and unbounded fun.
