i am one of the youngest volvo s60 drivers out there, (from what i seen) i am 27 but genetics has made me look 20 years old, i drive with the windows down and my music blareing out and i got a black one with massive 18 inch BBS wheels, i drive fast but safe, and i am very very nice and so are my ghetto friends who sit with me

i am amazed how many people check out my 18 inch rims on the volvo

i also been to a few pistonheads meetings, and sped my volvo thru central london against ferraris, and lamborghinis, when i am doing this, i am thinking i should be employed by volvo as a sponsor, showing that volvos can be rude, cool and fast too,

too many volvos are bought by old people who drive slowly or people with beards
and caravans

my car looks wicked though, its amazing what big wheels can do to the s60, plus mine has this sculpted facelifted front end that sometimes when i am drunk could look like an aston martin, i cant wait for this new volvo C30 to come out soon

Good for you matey, but I would just watch those amps, excessive noise leads to hearing loss, which can not be helped by hearing aids, which may not occur for some years. The human ear just aint built for continuous loud noise. Love the rest of the post, I drive an S80 and just love it.

thanks, i will take that onboard

its volvo's fault for supplying such a wicked sound system, dolby sound pro logic is great, and the surround system function is superb
but got to turn it down i guess

I used to drive a Volvo (truck, does it count?) and wasn't nice. I now drive a DAF

Some are, many aren't (won't make a judgement about myself)

But as the cars are trying to be repositioned (one may wonder about the smartness of the move) so the drivers change, whether for the better or worse is an interesting topic

If people whose budget didn't quite stretch to the desired BMW start driving Volvo's...

You perhaps mistunderstood me, I meant it would be bad for Volvo's image if the drivers who buy one are actually lusting after a BMW and cannot afford it financially.

Ive got 2 Volvos a BMW, Jag, Lotus and an Aston, so where do I fit in?

For me, I chose the S60 for its easy and cheap tune-ability. As someone who regularly drives in excess of 1000 miles a week, I cant really think of any other car that combines its comfort, discreetness and M3 bashing performance for the money.

aeroresh, you have amazing rims on your s60!
i had a t-5 before the dt5..and i thought that was a great car..the 185bhp 2.4d d5 is great..i notice though that i travel 40mph slower than when i did in the t5

on the way to work today a little kid in the back of a vectra yelled to me 'great car'..thats something i never experienced when driving the abbot or the boxster!
