Not up to luxury standards

I bought the car after looking at and test driving several entry level luxury cars. I liked the S60 and thought it was a good value. I decided on one car but it was sold when I went back so I ended up with a more expensive car but I got a good deal so I bought it. The cars handling is OK but I'd prefer more rode feel but it was acceptable. Acceleration was good. However, I did notice some fit and finish problems in the interior after a few days of driving. I went back to the dealer to point these out and they took pictures and sent them to Volvo. I bought the car in Feb. 2012 and it is June and the problems have not been resolved. I should have bought the Mercedes C Class.

I bought this car 4 yrs ago with just under 100k. Because Volvo S60 depreciates like crazy, for a meager $8,500 I got myself a luxury sedan in excellent mechanical and cosmetic shape. I was a little hesitant, but I trusted the garage where I bought it. So far, with the odometer at 155K, this has been one of my best car purchases ever. No issues whatsoever, only spent on regular maintenance and even that is very reasonably priced. The car drives perfectly, no squeaks, no rattles, no vibrations. A perfect balance between comfort, performance and fuel economy (mixed driving I get 24-25 mpg). I don't know how long it's going to last, but in my experience, 4+yrs absolutely trouble free is not a given, even with new vehicles.

I really enjoy this car. Not sure of reliability because it is too new. I had an 850 for 18 years so I will assume that it will last a long time. Features are very convenient. Car is very stylish.

driving it for a couple of months, but no snow yet. Great feel - - a blast to drive. There is a learning curve on some of the tech features, but not too bad. We feel great about the car
