I bought the S60 Inscription to replace a Toyota Camry. I test drove several vehicles and ended up falling love with the Volvo due to it's classy interior and spacious back seat. While not a sports car it drives and handles well, and does everything I ask of it. These are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. They make it a pleasure driving this car. I am not crazy about the keyboard on the console, and I wish the dash was leather, but overall I am quite pleased. The trunk is a little small, but I also realize the spaciousness of the back seat is the plus here. I do like al of the safety features, and love having a back up camera and blindside sensors. I also like the wet sensor windshield wipers. I like the technology of the car. I think it has an adequate sound system, and the computer is easy to use once you become accustomed to it. My only qualm is the navigation system. It isn't easy to use, and you can't do a split screen of that and the radio. I have had no issues with the car thus far (6 months in) and the fuel economy is even better than advertised.

This is my second Volvo S60. I currently own a 2017 S60 Inscription model. I did not realize that Inscriptions are made in China, not Sweden. My first drive on the highway revealed an air-leak noise when the car gets to about 60 MPH. The dealer has attempted to fix this problem without success. We drove another Inscription model vehicle; same noise. The wind noise is very loud, so this is not a minor issue. The dealer discussed problem with Volvo in an attempt to get me out of this vehicle and into a different car (Dynamic model). Volvo refused to do anything, claiming that the noise is a "characteristic" of the vehicle. Ridiculous response, as this noise should not be found in a $40K+ vehicle. I have about 4,000 miles on the car and I am looking to get rid of it. Anyone thinking of buying an S60 Inscription model should drive it on a highway getting to at least 60 MPH. Not a normal part of a test drive, but advisable for the Inscription. You will likely buy a different car. I wish I had. I now have about 23,000 miles on the car, and the "wind" noise and rattle under dash are still my driving companions. Volvo has done nothing to fix either problem. I am currently looking to trade the car. I'll take a loss, but life's too short to drive this Volvo.

I bought a 2016 S60 Inscription to replace my VW Passat TDI. I have really enjoyed the car and the entire Volvo experience. The S60 is very fun to drive and has many great features. It truly does have amazing seats. I love the Sensus Nav system and radio. My complimentary “Safe and Secure” warranty ( because I was a prior VW owner) includes wear and tear items. Lastly, Volvo has really emphasized customer focused experiences and the Service staff is terrific. I am a very impressed by Volvo!

Too bad, used to be incredible vehicles, up to the early 2000. I purchased a 2017 s60 inscription, nice ride, good power and very comfy, good gas mileage, at 42 000 miles the A/C fan died, $3 500 and about a month and a half wait for repair, due to the fact that there is only 1 dealership in Milwaukee??? I ended up driving to the closest Illinois Volvo dealer, 1 1/2 hour away, the next day, they provided a loaner, 2 days later, $3 000, 3 hours drive round trip the car was back home. 5 days later engine warning something display, repeat previous procedure with only 4 weeks to wait this time (at my local dealer), so back to Illinois, this time it was only $2 000 . To recap: 4 days to drive back and forth, $5 000 in repairs does not make any sense, I got rid of it 3 days later. Volvo is now owned by Zhejiang Geely of China, the quality is gone, doesn't make sense.
