Used 2012 Volvo S60 T5 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
2012 Volvo S60 T5 (totaled)
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!

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.
Home Run!
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!
Burns Oil Like Crazy 34k miles
Don't. Purchased a used (but still under warranty) 2012 with 34K miles on it. It burns through 1.5 its oil every 1000 miles. My local Volvo dealer is giving me the run around and suggesting unnecessary repairs when we both know the engine is shot and it needs piston rings.

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.
