• "Although generally competent and comfortable, the aging 2008 Volvo S60 falls short of its German and Japanese rivals in regards to driving dynamics, refinement and overall desirability."—Edmunds.com¹

• "The driving experience can be a bit bland, and the "sporty" R model is dead, but the S60 still provides some value despite its lackadaisical driving experience."—Car and Driver²

• "The all-season traction of available AWD is an asset, but doesn't help S60 match the Acura TL or Lexus ES 350 for overall value, or the Cadillac CTS and Infiniti G35 for driving satisfaction."—ConsumerGuide³
