Picked up car 2 weeks ago.Already have had 1800 miles of road trips, pleasantly surprised with ride, quality of build. Took a day or two to get used to nav, phone, but easy to adjust to. Set cruise at 72 and got 32.5 mpg on a 400 mile jaunt. Nice car , great value.

Attractive car, but technology needs improvement

I've been driving my new T5 sedan for about a month now and so far I am mostly satisfied with my choice. Overall, the car is attractive, comfortable and a competent performer. The engine is powerful, albeit a bit noisy when revved. The suspension is not a sporty as the new ads for the S60 would make you believe, but it will satisfy most drivers. The gauges are simple and fairly intuitive, but they are a bit small and are not well lit at night. Gas mileage is admirable - 23 average mpg so far on regular gas.

For something that is a design flaw with Volvo, customers are being forced to accept a flawed product, which will greatly reduce the car's resale value. This is unacceptable and Volvo needs to compensate consumers appropriately to stand by the company's claim that their core values are "quality, safety, and environmental care" and that they are "working with energy, passion, and respect for the individual" Don't take my word google "2012 T5 S60: Oil Guzzler and No Warning!" and " TJ29871"

I can't say enough of this car. I test drove the T6 because that's all what the dealer had but I really don't see much of a deference between the 2 cars. Would of got the T6 but it was out of my price range. The T5 is perfect for me anyway. Just like others people said, it drives, handles great and is has a comfortable ride. I got about 550 miles on it so I haven't really got on the gas. Definitely going to drive this car into the ground! I would suggest this car to everybody. I was lucky enough to be stationed in Germany so I got a discount on my car which saved me like 6 grand then from buying it in the states.

THE CAR I ALWAYS WANTED

Bought this car used from a Volvo dealer. From the 2nd day I had it, it has squeaked. Not all the time but pretty regularly. I took the car back twice for the squeak and it was never found and the dealer wasn't really all that concerned. I ended up buying a 2nd car to drive as the squeak has gotten worse and I can no longer drive the car. I recently had to rent a car because I had passengers and didn't want them to hear this. I paid more for this car than any car I've ever had. I waited my adult life to have a car like this. It is the greatest disappointment I could ask for. I pay monthly for a car I can't drive without ear plugs. I would expect this from a cheap car, not a Volvo. The dealer I bought it from was unhelpful and the closest Volvo dealer wouldn't even entertain looking at it because I bought it out of town. I would NEVER own another Volvo
