This car is a total piece of crap. The gas mileage is poor and has never met the 30-37 mpg it advertised. The start/stop function drains the battery. I have had the battery replaced 3 times in 4 years and $360/battery is not what I consider reliable. The car has been to the shop 8 times for problems. So far, I had to replace the fuel pressure sensor, thermostat, right engine mount, parking brake sensor (I don’t even use the parking brake) which was sticking and wearing my break pads, not to mention not safe, fuel pump, engine coils and spark plugs (under recall), and fuel compression regulator. I have spent $2,500 in just 3 weeks. My senors either go off for no reason or don’t alert me when they should have. I like the seats and stirring wheel which are comfortable. It LOOKS great. The ride is rough and I hear a grinding noise when I drive, which Volvo cannot isolate the problem, nor do they care when I reported it. The battery they replaced was faulty and I had to cont BBB just to get them to replace it. Because it was replaced under warranty, they wouldn’t replace it out of warranty even though they replaced the bad battery with a faulty one. That is when I decided that I will never purchase another Volvo in my lifetime and I do not recommend this car. I’m going to a competitor with a reliable vehicle. Poor service, poor reliability, outrageous repair costs and the betrayal of my trust in a brand where they did not deliver. My loyalty with Volvo ended 12/12/18. If you’re looking for something nice looking but not reliable, this is definitely the car for you. Safely matters if I’m in an accident. I’ve never been in one in this car so I cannot comment on safety.

Love my S60 - But....

I seldom write any time of reviews but in this instance I feel I must share some of my experiences with potential future Volvo S60 buyers. I purchased my 2015 S60 during the second half of 2014. I will note at the outset that I "love" my car. I enjoy the way it performs, the speed, the handling, etc. It's a bit tight (I'm 6'2") but overall it's been a great buy. My only issue has been on maintenance and I can't decide whether it's the vehicle or the dealership which I've been using for maintenance. I've had three instances where "major" repairs have been required, the most recent of which is currently in the works and involves replacing spark plugs which should not need to be replaced after merely 18,500 miles. I've already had one internal sensor replaced at the recommendation of VOLVO Central and it's likely that this current repair will require the replacement of a cylinder. I've had this vehicle for less than two years, and it has "granny" miles (coming up on 18,500) yet somehow it's required days worth of repairs. Recognizing that these repairs are all covered under the current warranty (thank God) it's still a bit of a disappointment because I enjoy this vehicle. Once I get the vehicle back to health - from fuel economy to comfort, it's a great purchase. Just starting to wonder whether VOLVO sold me the proverbial "lemon."

This car is amazing! It is a well built and great functioning car! I love the stop/start feature and I also love driving the car in sport mode. 240hp is more than enough power for a luxury sedan. I see so many BMW, Lexus and Audi cars on the road. I feel that those cars are over rated and who wants to drive down the street and see others with the same exact car as you and newer versions of your car everywhere you look? I know I don't. The car has outstanding safety ratings and it has amazing gas mileage and when I go to get my oil changed the staff is upscale and professional. I also checked this model and year and there are currently no recalls. Many of the BMW, Lexus and Audi cars end up on the NHTSA website.

2015 Volvo S60 T5 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6A)
9 of 10 people found this review helpful
OVERALL: A nice car to drive, safe and solid, performs well, but Volvo charges more than many other brands and provides less in some key areas, like rear seat and trunk space, spare tire, GPS traffic guidance, etc. GOOD: Great styling (my opinion), excellent handling and brakes, excellent (Volvo!) safety ratings, very comfortable front seating, AWD is very sure-footed and even helps with powered turns on dry pavement. Sound system is very good quality ('tho the antenna is not very good compared to most other cars). Excellent interior materials. Dealer support is excellent. NOT SO GOOD: 5-cyl "T5" engine has decent power, especially at lower speeds where it is very torquey, but unimpressive at highway speeds. Some noticeable wind noise, fair amount of odd or annoying noises from the many electronics. Volvo GPS navigation is okay but slow, very slow, really sloooooooow, sometimes gives direction after you've passed the place to do it, and entering destinations can be VERY frustrating or even impossible, but does make good calls on traffic conditions. BAD: [UPDATE: Traffic guidance expired, to get it back requires a complicated process of Internet subscription, traffic reports subscription, etc., all at extra monthly costs. A $150 Garmin can have LIFETIME traffic and map updates, so I guess "Swedish luxury" is cheapo and not so good??] No "cubbies", so no open or casual storage for driver stuff beyond the glove box and console box, both of which are okay but awkward to reach while driving. The alleged "city traffic" automatic braking feature has never worked when tested (??). NO SPARE TIRE INCLUDED; The standard gel tire repair system may serve for most punctures, but if a large puncture or tear, it's useless, and it can potentially ruin wheel balance and/or the TPMS sensor so add cost and trouble to your follow-up repair woes. Adding a spare tire is in my opinion the right thing to do but it's not cheap and the trunk then goes from "small but okay" to almost useless. So much for this being an expensive luxury car! Things going in and out of the trunk will chip the rear bumper paint, no rubber bumper guard like on most other cars, even low-priced ones. Rear seat room is honestly a cruel joke unless midgets are in the front seats so front seats are pulled all the way up to provide (sigh) minimal leg and foot room in back, and even then the roof downslope makes it claustrophobic. There was and I think still is a "stretched" version of the S60 with more rear seat room that I think is the only way to buy an S60, significantly more expensive and still not great but at least acceptable and useable. Trunk is okay if you do not add an (optional!!) spare tire, but not having a spare tire is, to me, foolish. Update, end of 2019: The media/info screen system is tedious, unsafe to use while driving. Buttons and dials must be looked at by the driver to tell one from the other, no tactile differentiation. Still like the car but obviously the designers just looked at things on their CAD screens and never drove the car. Okay but not a real driver's car. Still fun to drive, still exceptionally safe if/when needed, solid, but so many unnecessary and unexpected annoyances, so flawed.

I was going to lease a '14 at model year end, but they made me the same deal on a '15 with better equipment. I REALLY like this car. The interior is very refined and comfortable. I don't always fit well in cars with sunroofs but I have plenty of head room. Performance is excellent, mileage good, lease terms were fantastic including full maintenance and warranty. Stereo system is nice and road noise manageable. My only quibble is with the styling which isn't bad, but a little too reminiscent of a Ford Fusion. All round very happy. I compared to Cadillac ATS, Lincoln MKZ, BMW 325i It was the most affordable and really didn't require any compromises (MKZ had a little more space) Update. It's a good car. It's a little boring. The mileage doesn't come anywhere close to what they claim on the sticker but that problem seems to be industry wide. It remains a very good value for the money
