You won't see it from our 2009 Volvo S60 picture above, but the AWD version of Volvo's best selling model gets a more-powerful engine for 2009. A 2.4 liter five-cylinder engine that produces 168 horsepower is under the hood of the S60 2.4.197 horsepower roar from the turbocharged Volvo S60 2.4T. The new 2.5T AWD yields 208 horsepower and adds an all-wheel-drive system. Finally, the T5 is the most powerful new Volvo S60 with its 247 horsepower 2.3 liter turbocharged engine. Both the 2.4 and T5 can be equipped with either a 5 speed manual or a 5 speed auto transmission, while the 2.4T and 2.5T Volvo AWD are available only with the automatic.
Volvo S60 insurance rates
Most people pay more than they have to for insurance on new 2009 Volvo S60's because they never bother to compare prices. But with the free online insurance quote services there's now no reason not to. Filling out one form makes it simple and easy to get you multiple quotes online quickly.
Besides never comparing prices, many people also don't adequately understand their policy and coverage. So they pay for what they don't need or are missing coverage that they sould have when purchasing a new Volvo S60.
If you just get your state's required minimum coverage on your S60 for liability and property damage you'll be seriously underinsured. Most experts recommend at least one hundred thousand per person of bodily liability and a minimum of fifty thousand for property damage. And if you have a net worth of $300,000 or more, getting an umbrella policy for lawsuits could be one of the best insurance tips to remember.
2009 Volvo S60 review
All 2000 Volvo passenger cars will come with several brackets in the back seat for anchoring the tether straps. Light trucks, vans, and pickups were required to have these brackets in the Volvo 2001 models.
If your car is not a 2000 model, you can usually obtain a tether anchor kit made especially for Volvo's at your local Volvo dealership. Some are easy to install yourself; others require a mechanic. Tether straps for many 1997-1999 car seats are available from the seats' manufacturers. Be sure to use the one specifically designed for your car seat. All 2009 Volvo S60's should have tethers factory installed.
