  My wife's 2009 C70 did not come standard with a spare either. A can of flat fix instead of a spare seemed pretty rediculous to me so we had the salesman throw in a compact spare as part of the deal. If you've ever gotten a flat at highway speeds you know that the sidewalls are so torn up by the time you can stop that there is no way to ... Read More

  Hi isitsummeryet. Through May 2nd, Volvo's buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2012 S60 T6 with 15,000 miles per year are .00199 and 62%, respectively. I believe that the residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher, but I'm not 100% positive about that. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

  I'd be very surprised if the volvo does not also use premium. Usually turbo cars do. As for maintenance, what makes you think a volvo is any cheaper than a BMW? That hasn't been my personal experience. Driving a premium car is going to cost you. Period. So choose the car you like better and will get more enjoyment out of.

  I am considering a Volvo S60 and was shocked to find no spare tire, the salesman suggested run flat tires. I am not sure if that is an option for you since you have already purchase the vehicle.

• 2012 T5 S60 SPARE TIRE?

  Written by: bkvolvo on Apr 6, 2011 8:11:31 PM

  I've recently ordered the 2012 t5 s60 and learned that the car does not come with a spare tire (just a can of fix a flat). You have to pay $260 for a spare tire but the kicker is that it has to sit above the floor in the trunk. One would think that there would be space under the floor in the trunk. Is this asking for too much? Anyone ... Read More

  From memory the cars we drove were pretty standard and really had all the toys you could usefully want/need incl the Pedestrian Safety and Anti-Collision systems, (which are brilliant). My concern with the 18" wheels would be same as with any car with biggest wheels possible - they don't do the ride quality any favours and, if NYC streets are anything like most of the U.K., (i.e. nearly as good as ...

  Thanks for the reply. Did the model you drove have drive selectable settings? (sport) They offer a dynamic package for $900 which includes a dynamic chassis, 18 inch wheels and speed sensitive steering with driver selectable settings. I'm wondering if its worth it or even necessary on the streets of NYC. The article said that a t4 version was coming but it is the t5 in the US. I test drove ... Read More

  Attached link will give you an insight, but to the T6 AWD rather than the T5. Have driven S60 D3 and D5 Geartonics on-track over a series of high-speed and manoeuverability exercises and I have to say it made my '06 S60 D5 Geartronic feel rather "wooden" The chassis re-work is astounding - it's not just a body job; they really have re-engineered the whole thing. I loved it. The 205bhp ... Read More

  If so, lets hear about pricing, which packages, extras and overall brief review. I guess its too early but I haven't found one consumer review.

  Written by: fantom on Feb 17, 2011 11:33:44 AM

  I guess, not surprisingly, the numbers my local (good guys) Volvo dealer is quoting are different. On a 2012 Volvo S60 T5, 3 year, 10,000 mile per year, lease, the US Bank money factor is .001980, and the residual is a high 68%. Makes for a low lease cost, but a problematic buy out at the end of the lease. Loyality Cash was applied to the cap cost. Deal is $500 ... Read More

  What are the February lease rates for the 2012 AWD T6 S60 models at 36 months with both 12,000 miles and 15,000 miles per year?

  You sure can, bxxxmartin. Volvo's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Volvo S60 T6 AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00157 and 56%, respectively. I don't believe that Volvo is currently providing support on 2 year leases of this car at this time. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

  68%??! Wow! Volvo hasn't seen a projected residual like that in a helluva LONG time!
