You get a lot for your money with this car. If you want something different, reliable, safe, fairly sporty based on how you outfit it, you’ll be happy with your purchase. Top notch materials, sensible, well organized instrument panel. I stepped up to the 19” rims and two tone leather interior because I could get more for less than some of the German sedans I was looking at. I had an Audi and a MB prior to this car and quality is on par even if name is not. I will be getting the newer 2019 version. 2/2020 Update: I still have the car and am pleased with my decision. The car is reliable and a pleasure to drive. I haven't purchased the newer version yet because I really am quite happy with this car. If it weren't for the navigation system and having to pay $200 a year for Volvo On Call (nope, didn't buy it), I wouldn't even consider a car for another 60,000 miles. We have a Honda Accord Hybrid that is 2 years newer, but the nav and connectivity makes my Volvo system feel like a first generation Commadore 64.

My s60 was a dealer loaner (2k), when I bought it. That lowered the price and gave me some hesitation. However...in the 216000 miles since, my s60 still rips up the highways. It's the best car I've ever owned.

Bought a lease return 2015.5

Was looking to purchase lease return car. Volvo dealer was near my house. I liked the used 2016 S60 Inscription, but for $6,000 less, they had 2015.5 platinum. Test drove and felt sporty and fun. So I have purchased and it has all the features I wanteds, BLIS, backup camera, navigation, sunroof. . Things I do like: 1. Power. Plenty of power to zip in and out of traffic. 2. Handling. Surprisingly good. Not BMW 3 series like, but definitely great especially for being FWD. 3. Seats. Wow. very comfortable seats. Things I don't like: 1. No spare tire. Volvo the safest car in the world and yet if you get a flat, you are screwed. I purchased a full spare size tire and put in the trunk. So my trunk space is scarce. 2. Stiff ride. Feels every bump I go over. Not forgiving at all. Thought Volvo is safe and comfortable car. 3. If I lock the car with a keyfob, I cannot unlock with hand touch to the door handle. I must use the keyfob to unlock.

If you have to get a mid sized sedan...

This car is very comfortable and easy to drive. I miss my turbo C30 which was much peppier and way better looking in my opinion, but it was time for a grown up car that was refined yet affordable. I would say this fits the bill nicely and in a few years I will spring for the V60 wagon or XC60 crossover, since I prefer them both to a sedan. I wish I could have got the adaptive cruise control, but I would have had to go up a trim level to platinum and didn’t want to spend the additional $5k for the cars that were available with this option. Too early to say much about reliability but I’m hoping for the best. Road noise is not bad and the ride is nice. Not too cushy and not too tight. The stereo sound sucks but the Bluetooth works seamlessly. The interior is attractive with good quality materials, although I’m not in love with the colors and displays directly above the steering wheel. I like floating center panel. This car definitely does not make me want to race anyone at the stoplights. It does make me look and feel like a responsible adult which was necessary for my line of work. I guess the fuel economy helps make up for the lack in go go juice. This car has been very reliable this far. Approaching 100,000 miles on the odometer and the only money I’ve spent is normal maintenance with the exception of a broken trunk latch. This minor repair was rather expensive!

New car post delivery in first 5K miles: incurred multiple problems with the car that included electrical, sensors, tires. Each time it was a major hassle to get these issues understood and correctly repaired. Volvo demonstrates no accountability to the owner at the dealer or higher level the when problems arise. Just a "sorry". Volvo cars used to be a solid service after sales oriented company, now they are completely focused on sales as evidenced in my case.
