Does the Volvo S60 come in manual transmission?
Our nephew will be moving here from Sweden for school and we’d like to welcome him with a Volvo to make him feel at home. He learned to drive a manual from his father, so we were wondering—does the Volvo S60 come in manual transmission?

S60TSs and S60Rs built between 2004 and 2007 both came with an option for a 6 speed manual transmission, though Volvo stopped installing manual transmission in its cars after the 2007 model year.He won’t be able to get a newer Volvo in a manual, but what he’ll get will be pretty sweet, so long as the S60 is in good condition. The 2007 S60 offered style, safety, and speed in a very midtier executive-like package. The manual S60R boasts plenty of speed too, going from 0 to 60 in just 5.4 seconds, with a top speed of 146 miles per hour.
There are plenty of great reasons your nephew might love driving a manual vehicle, including:
Manuals tend to have lower price points than automatic cars
Stick-shift transmissions are much easier to repair than auto transmission
Gear-shift is much more fun to drive
There are drawbacks from driving standard, too, including:
You’ll be hard-pressed to find new standard cars nowadays, as most are automatics
In bumper-to-bumper traffic, constantly changing gears can get real old, real fast
Most manual transmission cars don’t offer fuel economy that’s as good as automatic cars
Whichever standard car you present to your dear nephew on his arrival this fall, make sure he protects it with a robust
