I had developed a hip pain about three years ago, likely from driving my Porsche Boxster but also was there, to a lesser degree, with the daily Hyundai driver. I took out about 10 makes from Audi to Honda to Mercedes etc. to find a comfortable ride. Taking out the Volvo S60Dynamic AWD was a revelation. Not only did the pain not materialize, but the seat and drive was very comfortable as well as engaging on a country road. The interior and exterior were attractive and its low key demeanor doesn't scream for attention. During the past 33 months, I've learned many interesting things about the vehicle. On a summer road trip to NJ in traffic the Volvo averaged 36-40 mpg @ 50-60 mph. The adaptive HID headlights are excellent for an older driver on a country road at night, where night vision isn't what it used to be. It is an excellent ski companion for a couple with AWD on snow covered roads with its ski tunnel and enough space for luggage and gear. The clincher was 2 weeks ago, when driving a back road after dark when tired, my concentration wandered and I had to emergency brake when the car in front of me stopped to turn w/o signalling. The car went into City Safe and stopped 2 feet from the back bumper. I thought it was a rear ender for sure. That was the clincher. I've decided to buy the Volvo and name her Inga.

I know this brand very well, this is my 5th Volvo. Safety is of utmost importance to me, and the quality is great too. I enjoy having peace of mind when I am on the road. Love to travel and it is good to have peace of mind. I wanted something bigger, but it's me alone most of the time. So I got another S60. The sales associate Ingrid was there through the process and was helpful and not pushy, we had a good footing from the introduction. Made the sale go smoothly almost effortless. Great place, personnel and friendly people that make you feel welcomed.

S60 was the right choice.

I had not really considered a Volvo, let alone an S60, but living in the north eastern United States we needed an AWD vehicle. I was only considering a sedan as my wife already had an SUV. We were initially looking at the obvious German choices, but I was not a fan of the interior's and somehow we ended up at a Volvo dealer and when I sat in the car it literally felt like it fit like a glove. The seats are amazing, the interior had a beautiful cockpit design for the driver and it was visually a beautiful interior. While it is not a sports car, it drives very well, great acceleration, tight turning radius, it is both fun and pleasurable to drive. Initially I thought the small trunk would be an issue, but as it turns out my family of 3 can put everything we need for a long ski weekend in the car with room to spare. I did end up purchasing a few accessories, we added the factory roof rack for our skis, it fits perfect, no modification needed, added the glasses holder, the factory all weather floor mats and such. What really surprised me was how comfortable the car is on long drives and how fuel efficient it was. The stereo sounds fantastic. On the flip side, it is a stiffer ride quality than I was expecting on local roads and the navigation is a little cumbersome, outside of that we love the car.

Wanted to step up to a luxury car. Couldn’t afford it new and didn’t want to lease due insurance costs in my state. Found that I could see tens of thousands of dollars if I was willing to buy a-year-old model. This website helped me find a low mileage car that was a great deal.

3-Year Lease Retrospective - A Very Balanced Car

This is truly a very well-balanced car. The exterior and interior design are classy and have aged well. The interior quality held up very well over the past 30,000 miles and it still looks new. The ride, handling, and steering all strike a nice balance between comfort and sportiness. I have had no reliability issues to speak of, and my overall MPG for the life of the car, based on the in-car computer, is 33 MPG combined. Very impressive. Contrary to an earlier review, this car is extremely quiet at highway speeds, no wind noise. The standard sound system is very good. One thing I appreciate about this car, especially in light of most new cars, is that it has actual buttons and knobs for all major functions such as the radio and climate controls. I am not going to lease another S60 because I find the touchscreen system too distracting. The only real criticism I have of this car is the lack of storage. You get two cupholders and that is pretty much it. Nowhere for a phone, wallet, keys, etc, other than those two cupholders. Overall, a very well-balanced, premium car that is comfortable and fun to drive, delivers well above average fuel economy, and has a timeless, classy design. Not too bad.
