Used 2016 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews

Love my new 2016 S60 Inscription

This is my second S60 after owning a 740il & LS 400 for many years. My first S60 was a T5 AWD 5 cylinder. Liked that car but drawbacks were a bumpy ride and limited backseat room. The 2016 Inscription 4 cyl Drive E I'm now driving is fabulous. Better riding vehicle due to the longer wheel base and much more comfortable & spacious backseat. The upscale interior and electronics in the Inscription model makes this feel more like a luxury car, not a car I'm paying $300/month to lease. I went with a 24 month lease but having regrets I didn't go for 36! That's how much I've been enjoying this car.

Volvo is like a magnet

I looked at many different makes and models to replace my '03 S60/AWD. This is now my 3rd Volvo, and they are like magnets, meaning I just cannot get past all the good points about the car. Same reliable drivetrain as my '03, which just turned 220k. Interior has attention to detail, and is very comfortable. The electronics are not that complex, and gas milage is actually better than my older one. It is tight and quiet. Back seat not a big issue, otherwise Inscription may have been an option. I am very satisfied with this car so far.

Two weeks and I was sold!

I sold my beloved 2006 Acura TSX after spending 2 years researching replacements (I am on the 10 year plan). Looked at MB C class, Audi 4. BMW 328, Mazda 6. All had their strong points but I settled on a Volvo S60 Inscription. Did not need the extra back seat room but sedans are hard to find in the platinum edition and I the deal was hard to pass by. At first I questioned my decision but now appreciate the vehicle and highly recommend it. No, it will not blow off your socks but it will move out. The bells and whistles are awesome. Cars, like dogs reflect their owners and if you are looking for a good value, great safety features and performance for majority of us, you cannot go wrong with this vehicle. Plus is uses 87 octane! That is a huge money saver! Eight months in now and no issues! Have owned my Volvo almost 4 years and it is a rock. No rattles. Highly recommend it. Must admit the infotainment system is a challenge and not intuitive.

Underrated, Blast to Drive

The R-Design has tremendous power and acceleration and great handling, both of which compare favorably to the new, highly rated Jaguar XE. The interior isn't beautiful or flashy but uses excellent materials, has great bolstered seats which expertly hold you in place even making the fastest/sharpest turns and a top notch Harman Kardon sound system. The car has a simple elegance while being an absolute blast to drive.

Our new leased Volvo S60

I would suggest that you do not get the low profile tires. Also get the tire and wheel insurance package. I hope that Volvo offers more colors since we have had so many. My wife's 2006 Volvo saved her life!!!!

Great car, fun to drive!

Nothing but problems

I bought this car as a certified Volvo S60 inscription. I was beyond excited to get my first Volvo my excitement than turned into anger. I have owned this car for one year and purchased it with only 7000miles on the vehicle at time of purchase. Owned the car for approximately 2 months and when I was at a stop light the auto start feature was activated. I went to accelerate at a stop light and the vehicle would not move. It was in drive acting like it was in park. Took it into the dealership and of course couldn’t find anything wrong but decided to do a update on the transmission. This same issue continues to happen over the next year taken it to the dealership only to find of course no issues because there was no check engine light to be found to diagnose a error. While waiting in a drive thru lane this happened as well to my husband. He was stuck! He floored the car and the engine is on but the vehicle will not move until you put it in park and hit it off and turn it on again. Safety is not here! I unfortunately drive a lot for my work and will be getting rid of my car shortly. Beyond these issues, I too have had my tires spontaneously explode while driving 3 times with less than 15,000 miles on the car. I have had issues with the Bluetooth connection while on calls no one being able to hear me. Radio cutting out and screen going black. Error code for wind screen system. This car is beyond loud at an idle. Done with this car and probably Volvo!

Had it for a month so far and love it.

The black flash!

Sports car sedan. Designed with plenty of luxury. Heated leather & suede racing seats that conform to your body. AWD, deluxe stereo w/12 speakers, blind spot sensors front, back & sides, great looking wheels, onyx black metallic paint. VERY FAST CAR!!!

problems problems problems

nothing but problems. Fan just stopped working. tires keep BLOWING UP. did I mention THE TIRES KEEP BLOWING UP. like they EXPLODE. Off the rim, the works. I've been buying volvos for years. just volvos. This chinese made piece of junk made me loose faith in volvos. Next car not a vovlo. the radio doesn't have good signals. The GPS is HORRiBLE. HORRIBLE. the kind that makes you turn onto wrong ways, sends you on hour long detours... Nothing lasts on this car. Seats are falling apart, wiper blades don't do a good job. The plugs stopped working (to charge phones) Tires keep leaking air, we spend too much time at the dealership, just to be told the light alert is defective and they left the car as is with the tire sensor issue on... so many issues for a new car that we dont use much.
