Used 2015 Volvo S60 T5 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
Nice....but
I owned a Volvo C30 prior to this car which sadly had an early demise thanks to some road debris. I loved that car and since it had been discontinued I thought the S60 AWD was a good choice. I love the car but hate the handling on older pavement. It tends to ride down the road like a train rocking back and forth and can be difficult to control without 2 hands firmly on the wheel. When I purchased the car I noticed it had been in the shop several times for tire issues, new tires and alignments within 10 or 15 thousand miles. I bought it with 31k at 36 months. I had it aligned just a few weeks ago, after 7k miles since the last alignment, and the rear alignment was out. This helped but the car still does not handle the way I would expect. I own 2 other all wheel and one 4x4 which none handle this poorly. Not sure what's up or if this is just an issue with this car. Tires are Continental high end and have about 70 percent tread left. Update. I replaced the Continental tires with Sumitomo HTR A/S at about half the cost of the Continentals. Love these tires. I have driven about 12k on them so far. Car handles like a dream and is dead quiet on the highway. These were recommended by the kid behind the counter at a large national tire chain. 89 vs 177. I have had 3 sets of Continentals on three different vehicles Mini Clubman, Volvo C30 and the S60 and I hated them on all my cars. They're good when new but they quickly go down hill. I have now owned this car for about 4.5 years with no none wear issues at all. I put on high end front slotted and drilled rotors and replaced the two front Sumitomo tires at 64k. They had plenty of life left but the handling was not as good anymore. No other complaints.

Great car but has some issues
Bought it used with 40k miles on it. Extremely comfortable and fun to drive. But...when I brought it to the local Volvo dealer first time he warned me that some of these engines had oil consumption issues and these are well documented. And sure enough my car started taking oil. Since it was out of warranty engine rebuild or replacement was really not an option I wanted to deal with. But all things considered it lated me for another 100k without too much fuss. Traded it in with 140k on it looking like new but with oil consumption getting worse. Overall I would recommend it especially it engine was rebuild under warranty like some other s60s you find around.
