Purchased this vehicle to drive a lot - always had volvo's always loved them. This car had its engine completely fail on me and had to be replaced for 8K after the non collision damage. I did research after the fact and the coils fail, the engine fails, and the pistons lose compression regularly around 140K miles which happened to me. PLEASE reconsider purchasing this car if you actually plan on driving 1-2K miles a month.

You won't find a better combination of style and performance for the money. I now have 160,000 miles on it and have had no major issues.

I never thought I'd own a Volvo. Ever. My Acura and Mercedes were sweet rides. But here I have a sporty four door that is billed as the safest sedan out there, plenty of pep and road feel, and after 8,000 miles I'm won over. Small squeaky belt issue, and mileage could be better (25 combined, 29 on highway) but the seats are SO comfy, and I like the sparse / not busy interior with smoother leather than you'll find on similarly priced cars. I wish I had a 2013 AWD, but for this price it's a lot of bang for your buck. I don't know why anyone would get an overpriced and dull Merc C instead of this (in regard to a previous S60 reviewer).
Absolutely amazing!

We love this car! We also have an XC90 from '05. Both cars have been extremely reliable. Just follow the regular maintenance intervals and you'll be fine. Fairly inexpensive to maintain if you do your own work. This car drives like a dream. The handling is amazing. Performance is great, and even better if you switch to Sport mode but no need really. Beautiful cabin.
