2008 Volvo S60 Review
The 2008 Volvo S60 gets a pared down model roster. S60s use turbocharged 5-cylinder engines and offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Trim levels include 2.5T, 2.5T AWD, and sporty T5. The high-performance R model and manual transmission have been discontinued. The 2.5T and 2.5T AWD have 208 hp, and the T5 has 257. A 5-speed automatic is the only transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Previously optional equipment on the T5, including leather upholstery and a sunroof, is now standard on that model.
