No one talks about tall people

I love my S60, and I'm about to lease another one. One review comment I have not seen anywhere is that the car is great for tall drivers! I am 6'4". The front seats are very adjustable and provide a lot of head/leg space, and the telescoping steering wheel range is better than in all other cars I tested in its class. Many reviews mention that there is limited leg room in the 2nd row. What are people expecting? This is a mid-size sport sedan. When you have people in the back, you have to adjust your seat and drive in a less-than-optimal position. Get real. Overall - I highly recommend this car for multiple reasons (running out of allowable space here).

After multiple Japanese and American cars, this is our first venture in a European based car. So far we are very pleased with our choice. Getting to consider the Volvo was due primarily to the very positive experience we had with the dealer group (Fields Automotive) while we owned our 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan. That was a great car, but we were not enthused about staying with Infiniti (great driving experience, but expensive operating and maintenance costs). Same group had a Volvo store and decided to check it out. First impressions: clean design, interior and exterior (typical Euro/Scandinavian functionalistic, without being cold); good driving experience: totally surprised by throttle response from the T5 engine, handling; visibility, and comfort. Also appreciated that the tech interface was not the centerpiece of the dashboard like most new cars. Good combination of actual buttons and knobs with screen controls. Has a screen saver option, so the display goes dark after 20 seconds, instead of staring at you. Looked at an Acura TLX 2.0 4-cyl (poor engine response, dash is way too busy) and a Lexus ES (nice car, still a Camry, and pricey). So we went with the S60 (thought about the V60, but didn't need the extra room, and the sedan was a bit quieter). We've only had it 4 months, but still very pleased. Good on the highway: plenty of power even at speed, quiet: some road noise, but not obtrusive. City driving is relaxed. Auto Stop/Start is a little weird at first, but you get used to it. BLIS is great. Back seat (which has been described as tight) has been totally comfortable for 2 adults. Trunk has also been adequate for our needs. Great gas mileage: 25/35 (which is tremendous coming from about 16 mpg on a good day). Only issue was the electric defrost built into the windshield, which comes with the Climate package. Was very distracting: Volvo replaced at N/C with standard windshield. Update: Have had for about a year now. Still very pleased. Tires showing some early wear, but that seems to be the norm for the factory installed Continentals. Update 12/21/18. Now have about 57000 miles. Just switched tires to Michelin Pilot A/S 4's (great tires!). Car continues to provide great ride, handling and economy. Just regular maintenance. Update 6/21/22 Still feels like new. Just regular maintenance. Update 6/20/25. Almost 10 years later (a lot) and 84,000 miles (not a lot), Not much new to report. Drives great, still enjoying the car, just normal maintenance. Also, it's a mostly analog car (buttons and knobs), uses regular gas, avg 30+ mpg, which makes it even more enjoyable to drive.

I leased this car brand new in 2015, I had multiple problems with it. First, the airbag sensor in the passenger seat had to be replaced - twice, which consisted of taking out the entire seat. My car was out of service for 6 weeks. I had multiple problems with the oil sensor. The car blew two, not one, but two engines. I had all of the maintenance completed on time at the dealership.

Car handles very good, steering responsive, on road great, information station great, lots to look forward to, the only thing is the low ride tires, u have to watch for every pot hole and sewer recess, because of possible rim damage or tire damage, but luckily u can buy the insurance, for tire replacement and rim replacement if rim cannot be repaired. This is my second S 60, also had the XC 90.

This is the best car I have ever owned. Gorgeously designed, ridiculous acceleration, phenomenal gas mileage, smooth and quiet ride, impressive sound system, and intuitive features like a built in grocery rack in the trunk so that your bags don't fly when you punch the accelerator at every green light because the car is so fun to drive. Would give this car 10 stars if possible. It's that good.
