Beyond disappointed, what happened to VOLVO?!
My 2015 S60 purchased as a demo w 6000 miles. At present, 39k miles. I selected car for seats and Volvo brand history of mileage warrior. I’M CONVINCED I PURCHASED A LEMON! From day one, my check engine light has appeared. Moving forward, happened multiple times and local Volvo never found out why? Clearly an engine issue but each time told “all ok,” as couldn’t find code or issue. More importantly, a maintained low mileage car such as a Volvo shouldn’t need a new starter, fuel injector, two new batteries and completely new engine…hmm, could this be related to earlier engine light (s). All under warranty, but this still shouldn’t be happening. Sad, as I wanted to be a Volvo car family for life…

Reliable Luxury car with sporty attitude
I had an S80 8 cylinder, S80 turbo inline 6 cylinder, S80 T5 turbo 4 cylinder, now this car is a 2015.5 S60 T6 twincharger with every option availabe. I bought it with 74000 miles, paid $13300 because it was a theft recovery with no damage. I've had it 3 years 2 months on November 27th 2022. Odometer reads 189500. Gets its oil changed every 10000. The TPMS light comes on when Wisconsin's temperature is close to zero but eventually goes off since the tire pressure is correct so that's not any negative because the oil change technician says they see it on every brand they service. In the past month now that temps are below freezing, the low battery indicator lights up when I get in before I push the start button, even though it's a new battery and the alternator/battery load test states everything is good. Technician says with this many miles it could be a loose connection somewhere but not on the terminals since he said those are tight and clean, so that's not a negative either just something to keep an eye on. Nothing else is wrong, so far. It has plenty of power to merge into 80 mile an hour traffic, pull my 3300 pound trailer and it's happy to run all day(with the radar detector on) at 100mph, plus the average mpg readout always hovers at 28.5 sometimes on longer drives it will bump 30 but with my heavy foot in city it drops back to 28.5, a little less in the winter.

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.

218000 miles and loving it!
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.

Would buy another one
Great value for the money. Loved that Volvo includes all the maintenance for 4 years/50 K miles. Had one problem with the computer that ran the infotainment center, dealer took care of everything immediately. Local Volvo dealer has been great to work with and has done all the routine maintenance on the vehicle included with the purchase. Tires could have lasted a bit longer, but provided good grip and drivability. This is our second S60, first one was a leased 2012 which convinced us to buy the 2015. Expect that it will last another 4 years w/o any issues.
