Used 2014 Volvo S60 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Finally happy after many other cars
I've owned a lot of vehicles and my S60 finally seems to hit the sweet spot of European performance and luxury with the reliability and lower cost of ownership I desire. It is just an all-around competent vehicle that is a pleasure to get in and drive everyday. It has a super high quality feel - like it's built very solid, something I didn't get in my Accord or Camry Hybrid. I just love the leather interior in this car - it is thick, comfortable, and smells great. The performance is more than adequate with the 5 cyl T5, steering and handling are excellent, and the comfort on long road trips is great, even with two bikes on the roof. Reliability has been fine - just routine maintenance required, and one A/C component replaced under warranty. I couldn't be happier. Update - still happy with my S60. I do sometimes wish I had the newer 4 cyl Drive-E, as it gets better mpg with the same performance, but everything else about this car is superb, so I'll live with it. I get 24 mpg in mostly urban driving with 29-30 on highway trips.

Great unexpected find
I was in the market for an all wheel drive sedan and was really looking at Audi's and Lexus's and after leaving the Lexus dealer I saw a Volvo dealership and decided to stop. Never even considered a Volvo in the process. Anyway took it for a test drive and leased it the same day. Number one reason I got was the comfort of the seats and was truly happy on the way it drove and the functionality of the car. They have come a long way on the looks of their vehicles, should at least give it a test drive. Think u might be as surprised as I was!!

Still Waiting For Something To Break!
Currently driving a 2014 S60 T5. Bought as a used CPO with 60k three years ago. I’m up around 100k now (almost out of warranty), and other than a single failed parking sensor (replaced for free) a couple years back, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car. My car has the distinctive Beachwood leather, which still looks fantastic. Car is fast, solid, and comfortable. Stereo is great. Only problem is that I financed it for too long and am currently a few grand upside-down on it. No plans to replace it any time soon, so that doesn’t matter much at the moment. Can’t say enough about how impressed I have been with my Volvo. Nicest car I’ve ever owned.

Drainage System Nightmare
I typically do not have time for reviews, but I am so frustrated with Volvo now that I am making the time today. Folks beware if you own a 2014 Volvo S60 sedan with a sunroof if you have not had problems you will have problems with water draining into the cabin of the car during heavy rain. I believe there is a design flaw with the drainage system with 2014 Volvo S60 sedans that have a sunroof, and I feel Volvo needs to own this issue and recall and repair of replacing the entire system at their cost. I do not want anyone else to experience what I have I will as of this week have spent $6000 dollar replacing the entire draining system and drainage pan under the sunroof. This is unacceptable and an expense that no one should have to bear for such an expensive vehicle.
Very well put together, but pass on the NAV
I don't want to repeat what everyone else has said, but a few things are worth emphasizing: Volvo's seats are VERY comfortable, even for my 6'3" frame. Performance is not the same as a BMW, but neither is the price. You might as well pass on the useless piece of electronic garbage they call a NAV system. I came from an Infinity M35, and I might have only Volvo's from now on. The car just feels very well put together. 90,000 mile update: The lack of a spare tire has left me stranded a couple of times now. Volvo service came and towed me each time, which was nice, but it can be a wait. Maybe I should have paid the $300 for a $20 spare tire. An inflation kit doesn't help when you've had a blowout. Have had zero mechanical issues otherwise. Update: The stock tires sold with the S60 get very noisy in the 2nd half of their life. I've figured out the weirdness of the NAV. It's still awkward, but I'll upgrade it to "usable."
