bad choice for volvo

2015 Volvo S60 T5 Drive-E 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful
I bought the car with approx 45,000 miles with a 3,000.000 cost extended warranty which didn't pay for the total cost of another engine we had to put in the car, we bought the platuim warranty the best one that supposed to cover everything, so got another motor that was 2017 with 3,000 on engine and 6 months later the electronic starter sensor misfiring and then repair shop does compression test because engine running rough and the 4th cylinder is not working so when I get this car back I am trading it in and never will buy another volvo, I prev owned a 2005 that is why I bought the 2015 because it s still running and has 250000 miles on it

2015 Volvo S60 T5 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6A)

I recently finished a lease of a 2012 S60 that I loved. The 2015.5 is even better. I had an incredibly hard time finding a better overall value. The fuel efficiency, performance, price and feature mix is tough to beat.

Great Vehicle with a few quirks

My 2015.5 T5 has been pretty good the last 150k miles. Great acceleration, decent mileage, and good parking sensors (at least on the Platinum trim). Being able to squeeze 240 hp out of a mild-hybrid 4-cyl engine is genuinely impressive. No matter what--even when I've driven with broken parts--it’s a smooth ride. A good vehicle with main components that last a while, especially given it lived in the Rust Belt most of it's life. I’ve heard the ones with the 2.5 AWD engine are much much more reliable, as this was really the first S60 to implement a “Drive-E” 4-cyl engine. We originally got a lemon of an engine (dead cylinder in the first three months) but Volvo replaced it (the whole engine!) for free and I believe there’s a recall out on some of those. Still, I found this one to be somewhat reliable. A good heads up to those who do drive or purchase this; smaller, less important parts will break from time to time. Nothing big, maybe $250 max per fix (keep in mind this has been a dealership princess, and dealers typically overcharge a little), mostly brake stuff and suspension pieces. In the almost 10 years I've driven this vehicle, the notable repairs that have been made are: - Exhaust line replaced (rust degradation) - Suspension fluid leak (this car uses a kind of solenoid suspension, this isn't a case of "blinker fluid" or "left-handed hammer" I promise) - Engine needed to be flushed due to carbon deposit buildup (almost right on the 9-year mark) - Bolt holding one of the brake guards fell out due to rust, simple replace The only slightly serious replacement needed was for an ABS Brake speed sensor that went out on the highway. It was a cheap replacement, but if you ever lose that sensor, you’ll lose Traction Control, Tilt control, Cruise Control, City Safety, ABS Brakes, and Collision Warning notifications until it’s fixed. It still drove fine for the period of time I was waiting for the dealer to get a new part, but it’s super inconvenient if it does go out. All in all this is a good, long-run vehicle. Likely one of the last few Volvos with very solid reliability. The only wildcard has been the type of gas it takes. The manual says it can take 87 all the way to 91. I ran 87 through it most of its life (with no issue), and just started running 93 through it one half-fill every other month, as a repair guy said this might help squeeze better performance out of it in this likely later half of it's life. Another guy said I should have been using 93 the whole time. Been using 89 when cheap enough and 87 when 89s too expensive for the last half-year with no issue, so I guess it's not too big a deal. A real good car, would recommend!

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.

A very pretty tank

Great car, great great great car! Super safe, very smart, reliable, great breaking, very good on the road. The only reason i am on this web site is that i did not negotiate my lease well enough and my lease payoff is way too high to keep my car. But over all this is my third Volvo, the previous was s60 2012 and it drove slightly different (they change the wheel to electric one on 2015) also 2015 is way more safer. It will get you spoiled in terms of standard safety features. The ones i personally use the most are: BLIS (blind spot aid), cross traffic (it's when you are pulling out of your parking spot and dont see the approaching cars in the isle - the car spots them and if needed automatically applies breaks), citi traffic feature is very useful too - it applied breaks a couple of times when my car approached another car too close in slow to semi-slow moving traffic. The seats are ... can i get one like those for my living room please? I drove about 10 times from DC to NY and back and never felt tired sitting in the car. Breaks are super, the car stops on a spot! the road handling is very good too - i feel safe in a rain or snow. However you need to be careful when there is a lot of snow - back in Snowmageddon of 2016 I was driving home when there was already about 3 inches of fresh snow on a road and car was swaying from side to side just a little bit. Having said that, navigation is horrible - routinely would tel me to make an exit from the left last second when i am in the far right line, or to save my money would take me back streets instead of the paid highway (even though settings set to the shortest route) (and that's exactly why, by the way, i ended up driving in 3 inches of snow back in 2016), or you will have to use that rotating knob to enter the address for about 15 minutes and then the system would tell you "no such street" or offer you another building. You will be better off using apple maps. Ride is a bit on a stiff side, but what do you want from the very cute tank? And that's exactly how I think of my car - it is a very cute, very smart tank with lots of babble wrap inside to protect me. I am currently shopping around. Audi A4 looks very dull compared to my car (everybody said the ride is much better, I tried Q3 - and its not THAT much better). BMW 300 series and merc C300 both drive nicer, but way more pricier and not as safe. XC-60 is just like my car, I feel totally home in it - but brakes are slightly weaker and headlights are not as good too. I mean, its a very very nice car, I have hard time being completely swept away by other cars in the same class. Cons: navigation sucks, slightly stiff ride, and apparently volvos in general depreciate very fast and loose value, so if i will get a new volvo - i am driving it to the ground. From the consumer reports reviews i know that 2015 is probably was one of the worst quality wise years (nothing major, just small stupid things that drove people nuts - like oil lamp is on, nothing wrong with the car, but its still on, stuff like that) but my car so far hasn't given me a second of grief. Also I have one of the prettiest combinations of black paint with red shine in it and light leather inside - so pretty! I am sure will be sad to part with my car!
