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.

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.

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.
Great Car!

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 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).
