I bought this car new in 2012 and it has over 100,000 miles. There have been no major issues and Volvo service is like no other… they are super attentive and take pride in their reputation.

OK, so the other reviews describe the car well. For those wondering how they hold up over time: my S60 T5 is nearly 2 years old (purchased May 2011), has about 24K miles on it, and has had no problems (OK, well, I did get the wiper blades replaced for free at my last routine service, and a firmware update before that). I bought this over a BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Infinity, etc, and that was a bit of a shocker as I only stopped into the Volvo dealer because it was on my way to another car dealer. Good thing, as I was won over after many test drives, and I do love the car.

I am a long time Volvo owner and this is the best one so far. Great performance in base form with surprisingly good gas mileage. We have 4 children and the backseat is spacious and easily accommodates three across in carseats. Very handsome but understated styling. Sporty but classic Volvo at the same time. Feels like it will hold up well over time and we are hoping it does!
A little Disappointed

I am a little disappointed in my 2012 Volvo S60 that I bought brand new last year. I've only had it for one year, but it was taken to the shop 4 different times. The Volvo symbol on the front came off, the silver part on the steering wheel cut me when it peeled off, the mp3 player connection within the arm rest had to be replaced, and I replaced the windshield wipers(after owning the car 2 weeks) due to invisibility from rain. I thought something was wrong with the windshield, but after Volvo dealership mechanics assured me it wasn't the window, I realized it was the windshield wipers. I wasn't expecting to return to the shop (using my gas) For a luxury vehicle at this price.
Buy a Honda

I bought my 2012 s60 in 2012. I have had nothing but problems. It burns oil. Volvo tried replacing the engine in 2014 and it still burns oil. Have to put in about 2 quarts between oil changes. I had to replace the whole a/c compressor in 2019 after it completely stopped working. This last week, my car just died at an intersection and mechanics are still trying to figure out what is wrong. These are just the major things which have happened and does not include how my back passenger door does not lock and many other issues. Went and bought an Accord today as we wait to see if we can get the Volvo working and sold for whatever we may get for it. Very disappointed. We do not have the money to always buy new cars and had hoped to get maybe 15 years out of this car and we didn’t even get 10. Update: Had to sell the car as scraps and bought a Honda.
