A great deal, a beautiful car, very comfortable front seats (back is a little small) and smooth ride. Previously owned a Camry and looked at Avalon, Acura TL and Volvo. Volvo's quality, styling, and comfort won hand's down.

S60 AWD - Slightly Sopoforic

A sturdy car without a whole lot in the character department. I always felt safe. However, there wasn't much soul to the ride. AWD worked great in snow/ice. However, be warned that if you get a flat tire and there is slight wear on the tires, you must purchase 4 new tires. This increases the cost of ownership in my opinion.

I just got this car, so I don't have enough experience to comment about reliability. So far I have just excellent comments. The first thing that came to my mind when I bought it was "How people can prefer a Camry / Accord over this car?" Crazy! This car feels more powerful and spacious (front) that what is on paper. Its a perfect blend of sporty and comfort. The seats are by far the best I ever seat on. The basic Sound system is even better than the $1500 aftermarket that I installed on my Bird.

When I purchased my S60 AWD I thought it was going to be a great vehicle. I was wrong. Looks great, but many, many nickel & dime mechanical problems, which are both time consuming and expensive if you take it to the dealer each time. Traded an Acura CL for the Volvo, never again

Well, Ford-owned Volvo needs to improve a lot. After riding a year, the engine of S60 stops sometimes during maneuver and the big problem cannot be fixed yet. The suspension is now too soft to give firm ride comfort and the interior makes a rather noisy sound.
