Used 2015 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews

Eight years old, 65,000 miles and drives like new

Pros: 1. Handles well after putting in a high-performance rear sway bar from IPD in Portland, OR 2. High performance all-season tires make a huge difference in handling 3. Polestar software upgrade was well worth the money for increased torque/performance 4. The car has been virtually problem free. Thermostat needed replacing and one of the seals on the AC compressor 5. I just got back from a road trip and averaged 31mpg on the highway. City driving is about 20 mpg. I only recently started using 93 octane gas. I don't see a performance difference but I'm hoping it will be better for the engine over time. Cons 1. It lost 1 quart of oil in 5,000 miles a year ago. They did the compression test and my car just passed. They did the test again 6 months later and the car was fine. That was 15,000 miles ago and I haven't lost oil since. It is a known problem with the car that the compression rings are defective. Volvo will cover it, I think, up to about 60,000 miles on the car. This is a big negative. I don't know what years stopped having that problem but one must look into it.

love my volvo

Great car. Can get in and out with no problems. Comfortable and easy to drive

My first Volvo

Have loved every minute of this car. Sporty, style, fun to drive, great seats! Only real drawback was having to replace my tires at 20k miles, that was a first for me in a lease and I’ve leased several cars. $1000 to replace them with only 10 months left on the lease. 😩

No more Volvo, please!

I was a loyal Volvo customer from 2004 until 2024. Here is my story: 2004 - I bought a new S40 for my wife. We loved that car and passed it to our daughter in 2015. The car was serviced at dealership mostly and made ~335,000 miles without major issues / repairs until I junked it in 2017. 2007 - I bought a new XC90 for myself. It's a great car and I'm still driving it. Now it has ~211,000 miles. This car also was serviced at dealership mostly and hasn't had any major issues / repairs. 2015 - I bought a new S60 for my wife. We loved that car too but the problem with excessive oil consumption started right after purchasing it. I had to add 1 quart of oil like 3-4 times between oil changes (10,000 miles). Volvo dealership did 3 tests but could not find anything wrong with it. I had some suspicions about their test because they never allow me to bring the car to them when it was asking to add oil. The test was always like "we topped the oil please bring the car back for check in exactly 3 days no longer" and no oil level change could be found in 3 days obviously. Bottom line - at 125,000 miles (in 2024) 2 cylinder out of 4 lost compression and dealership told me that the engine has to be replaced for $8,000-$12,000. Volvo refused to reimburse anything at all. Conclusion - no Volvo anymore!

My new baby!
