Nice vehicle but not at par with other Euro sedans

For the most part, it's a nice car with good performance and mostly good features. Fun to drive and pretty good economy but it requires Midgrade (89 octane). The issues thus far after 1 month are mostly annoyances rather than problems. Navigation does not seem to update traffic or construction. Dual-zone climate controls have no sync option. Exterior door handles are pinchy (watch your fingers or you'll be sorry). The AT&T Wi-if is almost useless and difficult to setup with very, very slow speeds. The menu system is NOT intuitive and to make matters worse, the manual is not applicable to the actual options in the menu system (e.g. There is no "My car" category in the menu system, which is frequently referenced in the manual). The visors are not extendible so you have no way to block sunlight coming through the side windows (heck, even cheap Fords offer this). The tire pressure system only tells you if you have a low tire. No specific info as to which tire is the problem or how low it is. No PSI display for the tires (again, even very modest vehicles offer this feature) however it does for some reason have a "calibration" process for the tires. Seats are a bit stiff and not great for long trips. Bluetooth connection is iffy and sometimes does not connect with phones.

Beware Volvo's City Safety System

I purchased a new S60 for many reasons-- the most compelling being the City Safety System. This was my fourth Volvo. All of the ads on this feature made me wonder how I or my family could drive without it. A month after purchase, a man slammed on his brakes in front of me when a child went into the crosswalk (not dissimilar to the TV commercial). My car not only didn't stop but didn't even slow down and rear ended the vehicle in front of me. How could this happen when I had City Safety? I sent a letter to the President of Volvo and was routed to customer service. They sent a technician to check the "black box" and let me know the system worked just fine. Read the fine print in the owners manual, they told me. City Safety really only works in certain condition and the advertising is not accurate. In other words, they mistake is yours. You trusted us. Volvo makes a just fine vehicle -- but this feature does not work. #VolvoSafetyFail

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.

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.
