2017 S60 T5 AWD - Fire Engine Red - ZING!

I leased this car new. Sign and drive, Kline Volvo Minnesota. $385 a month sign and drive no money down!. $41k sticker, Nav, backup sensors, sport dash. I've leased for 20 years, this car is solid. Nearly 4k pound curb weight. I feel SAFE. The car has great zip, can really accelerate like a bad a$$. Interior design is quintessentially Swedish luxury, I smile every time I get in. All maintenance free with Volvo's the first 4 years. In Minnesota I drove 7k miles a year. I moved to Chicago last May, car is parked I live and work downtown. I take it to Wholefoods, the dog park and long road trips back East. The car goes back next Spring, I will miss it. Volvo has increased sales from low 400,000's globally to 600,000 in about 2 years. My concern, they are cashing in ...their leases and downs are getting very high. I have vehicle serviced at Orloff Volvo Jaguar LandRover, if Volvo doesn't cut a great deal, I've seen sign and drives on the Jag XE and LR Discovery Sport. I have a 110 pound English Labrador and purchased the Volvo Dog Harness......its beefy! After 20 years of leasing I've leased Volvo's most...........I've walked away for a "deal" to another brand, I'm more loyal to the deal than any brand. However, when I get back into a Volvo..............it feels like home.

Very Solid Vehicle

The S60 Platinum Premier Inscription model is loaded with safety, comfort and performance features. I cannot compare the performance/handling of my car to other more expensive European because I have never owned. However as a normal driver the car has served me very well. Besides scheduled maintenance I have not had any services in two and a half years. In fact because of my experience I plan on buying the car when it comes off it's 36 month lease.

Low end luxury?

I own two cars: a 2020 Mazda CX5 and a 2017 Volvo S60. Although the Volvo doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the Mazda has, I still prefer the Volvo. I have snow tires which are put on in late Fall and kept till early Spring. As my "Winter Ski Car" it works just fine. (Ski Box now stays attached year round.) Get less than 20mpg during rest of the year but only taking short trips to work and local shopping. A few mechanical problems added to ownership cost. Still appreciate its reliability and ride.

Love this thing!

I have owned a lot of european cars and this is honestly my first Volvo I have ever owned. Starting off with the fact that it is the only "luxury sedan" where you do not need to put premium gasoline in it. The seats are incredibly comfortable and I actually do have a lot of back problems and commute about 50-60 miles a day. The cabin is incredibly quiet and even the T5 has great acceleration. The trunk space is adequate however I do wish there was a tiny bit more room in the back. Materials on the interior are high quality and the car has no squeaks or rattles. I love the Volvo on call service I get and the app that controls it. Gas mileage is great and the car in general is an overall great car. The reliability of it is definitely better than my BMW I had and the Volvo is by far the most comfortable car I've owned.
