This was the inside of the S60. I was about to get inside when i snapped this photo. It was dirty from sitting for days in the back lot so i didn't snap the exterior. I went back to photograph the car in case someone else on here was looking for such a clean car and it sold and was allready gone.
Michelle loves the C70 and next time i see her i will add a few pictures of the car. Funny thing is she picked black on black, as the 5 year old C70 was ice white like my car. She simply fell in love with the black one which is a 07 with 50K. I believe that the engine and transmission is the same as the 08 S60.
I understand that feeling when you see a car that catches your eye and practicality goes out the window. Michelle says she feels more secure driving with the extra visibility especially backing up with the open convertible top. I didn't want to bust her bubble that here in Florida it rains all the time and the top will be up quite a bit.
I am sure quite a few MVS members out there are facing 1st car situations and want our children safe as possable. My concern initially was not getting her one of those late model 5 cylinders with trouble. I think 2013 model year? At the time of my original post i wasn't sure what years were effected. As a child stuck on the side of the road waiting for a tow can be dangerous in many ways. I feel it's a risk i prefer not to take with my daughter. She is living on campus 250 miles from home so the car has to be reliable.
I really think a thread here on MVS which lists the Volvo cars that are best for our children to start with is a important topic. Obviously some models are safer, others are more reliable, and others may be more affordable. The trick is to select a well rounded model. June
