Used 2018 Volvo S60 Consumer Reviews
First Volvo
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.

Great card to buy if you’re willing to buy used.
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.

Still regret buying this car
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.

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.
