I have driven my 2015.5 S60 T5 AWD with Platinum package and BLIS for more than 1 month. Before purchase, I also test-drove 2014 BMW 328i xDrive, 2014 Lexus IS250 AWD, 2015 Audi A3 Quattro, 2014 Acura TL SH-AWD, in addition to 2014 S60 T5 (non-AWD). While I bought the car mainly for crash rating and safety feature, I was pleasantly surprised by how well/fun/engaging it runs. Among all the cars I tested, only 328i is slightly more fun with a much higher price tag. During the summer promotion I also got 5-year free maintenance. Overall a great value, with superior interior comfort, fun driving experience, and unbeatable safety features.
Great choice for AWD sedan but...
Unique like everyone else, Mendham, NJ, 06/22/2017

OVERALL: A nice car to drive, safe and solid, performs well, but Volvo charges more than many other brands and provides less in some key areas, like rear seat and trunk space, spare tire, GPS traffic guidance, etc. GOOD: Great styling (my opinion), excellent handling and brakes, excellent (Volvo!) safety ratings, very comfortable front seating, AWD is very sure-footed and even helps with powered turns on dry pavement. Sound system is very good quality ('tho the antenna is not very good compared to most other cars). Excellent interior materials. Dealer support is excellent. NOT SO GOOD: 5-cyl "T5" engine has decent power, especially at lower speeds where it is very torquey, but unimpressive at highway speeds. Some noticeable wind noise, fair amount of odd or annoying noises from the many electronics. Volvo GPS navigation is okay but slow, very slow, really sloooooooow, sometimes gives direction after you've passed the place to do it, and entering destinations can be VERY frustrating or even impossible, but does make good calls on traffic conditions. BAD: [UPDATE: Traffic guidance expired, to get it back requires a complicated process of Internet subscription, traffic reports subscription, etc., all at extra monthly costs. A $150 Garmin can have LIFETIME traffic and map updates, so I guess "Swedish luxury" is cheapo and not so good??] No "cubbies", so no open or casual storage for driver stuff beyond the glove box and console box, both of which are okay but awkward to reach while driving. The alleged "city traffic" automatic braking feature has never worked when tested (??). NO SPARE TIRE INCLUDED; The standard gel tire repair system may serve for most punctures, but if a large puncture or tear, it's useless, and it can potentially ruin wheel balance and/or the TPMS sensor so add cost and trouble to your follow-up repair woes. Adding a spare tire is in my opinion the right thing to do but it's not cheap and the trunk then goes from "small but okay" to almost useless. So much for this being an expensive luxury car! Things going in and out of the trunk will chip the rear bumper paint, no rubber bumper guard like on most other cars, even low-priced ones. Rear seat room is honestly a cruel joke unless midgets are in the front seats so front seats are pulled all the way up to provide (sigh) minimal leg and foot room in back, and even then the roof downslope makes it claustrophobic. There was and I think still is a "stretched" version of the S60 with more rear seat room that I think is the only way to buy an S60, significantly more expensive and still not great but at least acceptable and useable. Trunk is okay if you do not add an (optional!!) spare tire, but not having a spare tire is, to me, foolish. Update, end of 2019: The media/info screen system is tedious, unsafe to use while driving. Buttons and dials must be looked at by the driver to tell one from the other, no tactile differentiation. Still like the car but obviously the designers just looked at things on their CAD screens and never drove the car. Okay but not a real driver's car. Still fun to drive, still exceptionally safe if/when needed, solid, but so many unnecessary and unexpected annoyances, so flawed.

I love my S60, and I'm about to lease another one. One review comment I have not seen anywhere is that the car is great for tall drivers! I am 6'4". The front seats are very adjustable and provide a lot of head/leg space, and the telescoping steering wheel range is better than in all other cars I tested in its class. Many reviews mention that there is limited leg room in the 2nd row. What are people expecting? This is a mid-size sport sedan. When you have people in the back, you have to adjust your seat and drive in a less-than-optimal position. Get real. Overall - I highly recommend this car for multiple reasons (running out of allowable space here).

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.
Fantastic Ride and Fun to Drive

Lots of fun! Great handling and acceleration. Amazing traction. Deciced to buy this car over the BMW 3281 x-drive.
