Best Decision Ever!!!
funkytown, Novi, MI, 12/16/2011
2012 Volvo XC60 T6 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
researched 6 months before buying. when i drove it home from the dealership i knew i'd made the right decision. i could not possibly love this car more! the turbo really kicks when i need to merge into heavy traffic. car feels substantial' i feel very safe. you can feel that you're driving pure quality. haven't found a single thing i dislike yet. i'm inventing places to go every day just … so i can drive it more!! money well spent; i'll keep this car for a very long time. i just read about a 1966 volvo in new york with 2.9 million miles on it...now i understand why! just wish i'd bought it 6 months sooner!! and no, i don't work for volvo!
Love this car

I purchased the 2012 XC60, T6, Platinum, Climate, and BLIS.
I truly enjoy driving this car.
The build quality, interior comfort, and exterior styling are what drew me to this vehicle.
I did have this car upgraded to the Polestar improved performance.
This dramatically increases torque and hp.
I see a huge difference and I love it.
I would recommend it for performance, absolutely.
I … would not recommend it for its value. It is an expensive "add-on".
I did get a significant discount from the dealer, and I love the driving experience it provides.
The interior very high quality.
I really do not like the display in the instrument cluster.
They are very dated.
Volvo should use high res
An Excellent Vehicle

2012 Volvo XC60 T6 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
This vehicle was delivered just over two months ago. I am very satisfied with it to date. Before purchasing it I considered the Acura RDX, Audi Q 5, BMW X3, and Mercedes GLK. I decided on the XC60 as having the best combination of style, features and performance. As I live in an area where winters can be severe AWD was a given. That being the case, when similarly equipped, the price … difference and fuel consumption between the 3.2 and the T6 are not that great. Given other comments I've seen this was a wise choice. I would not hesitate to recommend to XC 60 for anyone in the market for this class of vehicle.
Myriad electronic problems
rglambsb, Santa Barbara, CA, 10/20/2012
2012 Volvo XC60 T6 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
we've had numerous intermittent problems with electronic systems in our 2012 XC60 T. It s now with the dealer for the third time, with no fix in sight. Here' a partial list:
BLIS system gives false readings most of the time. Problem duplicated by dealers.
Nav system reruns message "system not available" .
Blue tooth stopped working entirely
gate opener either doesn't work or works only … within a few feet of the receiver.
Key opener either doesn't work at all or requires repeated pushing from about 8 feet.
With car runnung, rear seat passenger gets out, and car flashes "key not found". if you put the key in the slot, the engine stops running, which is dangerous.
