When considering getting a new vehicle, I looked at Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Lexus, BMW, Audi, and Volvo. When I was testing out all of the vehicles, I personally thought the Volvo S60 R-Design was amazing. Starting with the exterior styling and the interior design. I have read many reviews complaining about the comfortably, technology, rough ride, and the r-design sitting too low... I have not had any issues with mine since purchasing it last September. The ride in an Audi is by far rougher than the Volvo. Technology has been easy to use compared to our Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. Seats are VERY comfortable and support your body. With it being an R-Design, yes it sits a little bit lower which I personally like. The only thing that I did not like was that there was no option to get blond interior which I got over. Great Buy for the cost.

Test drive on highway before you buy

I bought this car 2 weeks back, it was a demo model with 250 miles on it. After a week of buying this car, I decided to go on a long drive. As soon as I hit the highway, the steering wheel started vibrating a lot. The vibration started usually at speeds above 75 mph and it gets worse. After reading online seems like it a common issue with even brand new Volvos and the company knows about this issue. These issues have frustrated the customers so much that they had to lemon their vehicles. The other day, my front right parking sensors didn't work and as I was parking the front wheel hit the curb and my alloy wheel got damaged. Volvo's are known for their safety but these issues are a potential safety issue. If they can't make their cars function properly then their cars are road hazard, dangerous and There is no sense in having those advanced systems. In these 2 weeks, I am highly disappointed with my purchase and just want to get my money back.

I considered this vehicle compared to the 2020 Kia Stinger and I am so glad I went this direction! I got the S60 T8 R-Design so it is currently getting 52MPG and has a ton of power! Smaller than the Stinger, sure, but it more than makes up for it with the ride and tech. I love that it can drive itself!

2020 Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

S60 Polestar - After owning a Audi S6, I can say, this vehicle is very satisfying. Although not as powerful as my former S6, it's pretty close. What I lost in power and/or performance, I made up in fuel economy. I really like that I can operate this vehicle in pure electric, hybrid or full performance mode. Update: owned for 15 months now and I've experienced no issues. Volvo completed the annual maintenance (mainly oil change). Pros: Hybrid and full performance modes are quite exhilerating. Range / Fuel Economy - Managed to drive 800+ miles on one tank of fuel so far! Very Strong Acceleration Infotainment Sys (Once You Learn It) Bowers and Wilkins Audio - Awesome! Exterior - Not to Wild Cons: Pure Electric Range - 25 Miles Tops! Ride Comfort Dynamics - A Little Rough for a Luxery Sedan

I absolutely love this car. Feels great on the road, very good power and the luxurious feel of the interior is very nice, so nice that when I now get into my boss’s BMW Alpina it looks plain. If there is one thing I will nitpick about the S60 is that the button to start the car isn’t a button. In fact, it’s a knob that you turn to the right to start and stop the engine. I wish they would’ve stuck to a push button on the dash, but I’m just nitpicking at this point. One other thing, a few buttons for the climate control would’ve been nice, but whatever. The point is that the car glides and feels great on the road. When you need the power it is there and comes on quickly and smoothly. The car won’t push you back on your seat, but it gets up there rather quickly. Before this car I would lease a car and still think about my 2008 Infiniti G35 and reminisce on the good times I’ve had with it on the road. However, the S60 is now the car that has replaced that void I’ve had for my G35. I will always remember the good times with the greatest infiniti product made, but the Volvo S60 is the one I look forward to having fun with on the road, it is a wonderful machine and is the best in its class in my humble opinion.
