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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
