Love my new 2016 S60 Inscription

2016 Volvo S60 T5 Drive-E Inscription Premier 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
9 of 10 people found this review helpful

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.

2016 Volvo S60 T5 Drive-E Inscription Platinum 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

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

Jeff, 05/23/2016
2016 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

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!!!!
