I'm a long time Saab and Audi owner, and thought I wanted a supercharged A6. Until I drove the S60. While it doesn't deliver the same power, it combines performance, safety, and comfort in an almost perfect combination. And it's priced right. Been driving it since March, and I love it. Could handle a little better at the limits, but dynamic suspension and/or AWD might address that for those that are concerned. This car is as comfortable and powerful as my Aero, with loads of tech, and personality. Black on black. I am very satisfied so far, and enjoy every drive. More interior room that 3 series or A4. Getting 25.5 combined (with a lead foot) and 30 on pure highway trips. Hard to beat. Nice!
Poor interior quality

I bought this car new in 2012 and really like the car overall. I got leather seats but the seat part has a semi-circle vinyl patch and vinyl on the side bolsters. After about 2 1/2 years the front seats are showing signs of waer and the front passenger seat with the vinyl section developed a tear. I brought the car back and they fixed it for $75. It looked good until someone sat in the seat and now it started to crack in other spots. The car has 16,000 mile on it. Now the dealer wants to replace the cracked vinyl for $850 but will take off the $75 initialled paid. It looks terrible. I have no choice but to fix it.
Just bought it, love it

Just bought a 2011 S60 T6. Got a great deal because there are trying to move the 2011's out. Was trying to keep it in the mid 30's. Was debating between a T5 or T6. Glad I went with a T6 because it's all wheel drive and has 300hp instead of 250hp and front wheel drive. Great warranty: 5yr/60k
Car made by angles

I live in minnesota so this car gets its fair share of snow, salt and potholes. The one complaint i have is that the ride is a little bouncy and the trunk is very "compact". Other then that its perfect, great acceleration, traction the auto braking system has saved my butt twice so far. I average 26 mpg or so and the computer matches the math! The car has 160,000 miles on it now and i can honestly say ive never had to repair anything and thats with me being forgetful and once going 14,000 miles without an oil change... ooops! My volvo dealer has been very helpful and i have faith this car will outlive my sons honda accord. I will 100% be buying another volvo.

I never knew much of Volvo's before I desperately needed a sporty luxury car and started looking in earnest. I was advised to look at the S60, but wasn't real interested. Well, out of respect, I did take a look. Indeed, I sat in its sumptuous leather seats then put the car through the paces. I was blown away. How had I never taken a close look at this car before now? Maybe the Volvo reputation for safety wasn't enough to catch my eye? Hmm. Whatever the case, I could not be more thrilled with my S60 T5. Luxurious, fun, fast, economical, and a badge that commands respect. I am now a Volvo fan. A BIG one. Absolutely love this car. ***UPDATE*** I now have 92,000 trouble-free miles on my S60 and I am pleased beyond words. It has exceeded my expectations in every way. I DO wish that mine had navigation and a back-up camera, but I bought it knowing that it didn't. Most surprising has been it's high speed performance. I travel often across the sparse and remote Alligator Alley. I have been known to open it up going across and holding speeds near 120 MPH. The S60 is smooth and confidence-inspiring at those speeds. Kudos to the Volvo engineers who designed it. Very well done. *** UPDATE II *** The car now has 132,000 trouble free miles on it. Beyond regular maintenance (always done on time), the only thing that I have done is change tires, battery, engine mounts and the wiper blades on it. That is supreme reliability. Very, very happy with my S60 T5! ***UPDATE III*** The car has 142,000 miles on the odometer and it has been virtually trouble free. Had to have the dealer re-flash the transmission programming because shifting started to become a little rough. Since they reset the shift points it has been smooth as silk. I could not be more pleased with how strong, well engineered, well built, and reliable our 2012 Volvo S60 has been. Great investment. Very happy with the purchase and would most definitely do it again.
