Volvo S60 1st Generation (P2)

2001–2009 · P2 · sedan

First-generation S60 on Volvo's P2 platform. 2.4L / 2.5L turbocharged inline-five. S60 R (2004-2007) is the cult collector pick — 300 hp turbo I5, AWD, four-corner active suspension (Four-C). Final 'classic Volvo' generation before P3 brought a sleeker silhouette.

Watch out: Aisin 5-speed automatic solenoid wear past 100k. PCV breather system clogs (oil leaks if neglected). Power-steering pump common wear item. ETM (electronic throttle module) had a known failure mode on early-2000s P2 cars — Volvo extended warranty addressed many but verify on used purchase.
