Fantastic Volvo S60 T6

2012 Volvo S60 T6 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Purchased the Volvo 2012 S60 T6 after owning a 2011 BMW 328i for 13 months (bought in June 2010). I can say the Volvo beats the BMW in every area. The S60 is a very fun car to drive, the interior is very comfortable well layed out and easy to use. The safety features are first rate. We test drove both the T5 and T6 but like the T6 much better, it just has a better feel on the road and the T6 is much more smoother than the T5. This is a great car for the value, with many items that come standard vs. others like BMW and Audi. Engine uses regular and the 5 year/50,000 mile maintenance care is excellent. I highly recommend this car.

Bought this S60 AWD new. Absolutely love the handling and ride..good gas mileage and safety features. Cannot stand the center console sound system. Have had it replaced once and it still doesn't work. AM reception - lousy at best. The entire system, including the phone, just shuts down at random. Push FM button and get AM or nothing. Push phone button and get radio. Have complained and been told as recently as two weeks ago that they had to replace the system for the newer models because the '12's thru '14's were so bad. Leather seats also wore out after 20K miles

We bought our Volvo primarily as an around town car, now we use it for road trips too and are very satisfied. Safety was my #1 criteria and this is the safest. We've had no problems and get better mpg than expected. We’ve now moved to the foothills of Mt Hood and this is a great car for navigating the windy roads. The car seems to feel at home and our mpg has gone up a little.

Bought my first Volvo couple of weeks back. The exterior really wowed me initially when I saw this car at the Minneapolis Auto Show during the Fall of 2011. In my mind, the looks are only half a step behind the Audi A7 (which costs 2x the volvo) and better than BMW or MB. The interior is clean, solid and classy. Controls are well situated and I really like the standard connectivity. As advertised, the seats are really good and supportive! Last, the car drives very well. Very smooth power delivery. And quick too. Using the manual mode shifter, I was in 6th gear at 2500 rpm!

Bought used with 40000 miles on it in fall of 2015. Have had no issues with. Oil changed every 5000 miles. Its safe, fun and sporty to drive. Tight steering. Seats are very comfortable. Backup camera comes in very handy. Very solid doors, trunk and hood. I would recommend this car. My car before this was a Saab. I enjoyed my Saab very much but this. Volvo beats it hands down ! 10/6/2027 The Volvo was totaled. T-boned passenger side by a driver that ran a red light. She was driving a Impala. In never saw it coming. Airbags and safety features kept me from getting hurt or killed. I also had my seat belt on. Thanks Volvo!
