Worst car ever...

I was seriously thinking of buying the 2019/2020 Volvo S60. For personal testing I rented one for 2 weeks. I am so happy that I rented one. This is the crappiest luxury car ever. Good engine and drivetrain. Pretty fast pickup from stop, and that is all the good stuff. Worst ergonomics, the driveshaft tunnel is way too high, no storage space other than two cup holders and are rear console/storage bin. Extremely frustrating touchscreen menus, not sure why Volvo went with tall touchscreen. Small width limits Apple CarPlay screen, and it is the smaller I have ever seen in modern cars. Worst yet, this is 2019 and this car has only one USB, just 1 in a freaking $50k car. Completely unacceptable. Seating position is not good either, I don’t like to sit all the way down, And usually raise the seat few inches. After raising the seat, I started hitting my head while entering or exiting the car and my hair were running on the roof liner. I am 5’10” so it was disappointing to experience lack of headroom. Poor visibility is another problem. Rearview mirror, front camera and passenger side A-pillar blocks 75-80% visibility on passenger side. This is very dangerous in urban environment while turning right when pedestrians might enter the intersection without warning. Trunk space is limited. I was only able to fit two large size (28”) suitcases in the trunk. Absolutely no space left for anything else. With 2 adults and 3 kids, we had to be creative in packing for a 7 day, 2500 mile family trip. Very frustrating. Half way in the trip, the lower engine cover fell dow and started rubbing in the road. Had to stop at closest Walmart and fix it using zip ties. 2 days later the Rear Left window trim piece came out and fell on the driveway while my daughter was raising the window :( These are the things we experienced in 2 weeks. I am sure if we keep it longer we will find more stuff relating to poor workmanship, design and ergonomic. I used to own a Volvo 960. The transmission went on it one day and the quote was $3500 to fix it. I sold after putting in a reconditioned transmission for $2200. I thought Volvo quality might have improved in last 20 years, apparently not. Needless to say, I will not be buying/leasing or recommending any Volvo ever. Not worth the headache, frustration and my money.

My first Volvo and I love it. Purchased my 2019 s60 r design with polestar used and got a great deal. Car is sporty , fast , comfortable and good on gas. I actually enjoy driving this car. Only nit picking is the heat and ac controls are a little hard to get used to and when on high I find it is quite noisy. No other complaints after owning for 6+ months.

Got it used, warranty covered a few things out of the gate and couldn't be happier. Had a 2013 S60 RDesign platinum. So not as fast or sporty but gorgeous and love the Harman/Kardon sound system upgrade.. was horrible in my 2013. This one has deep rich bass, clarity & great 7.1 channel quantum logic surround sound. Nothing like BMW H/K (no volume/no bass/bad sounding old 5.1 "logic 7" surround sound) alfa H/K or any other for that matter. Clearly Volvo has worked with H/K to make it a worthy downgrade from the Bowers and Wilkins upgrade(which HK also makes and is hands down one of the best in car sound systems esp. In clarity and dynamic range) a HUGE upgrade from the base sound system. Wish it had an extra helping of engine power without the polestar engine optimization 330hp/325lb-ft of torque stock then have the polestar upgrade bump it up more. Faster in manual mode (measurably). I Drive it in ESC sport mode all the time and dynamic engine in individual mode. Next is to lease new S60 T6 R-Design with sport suspension, bowers, advanced pkg, park pilot assist, and polestar optimization. Had one unexpected visit dealer visit common on all 2019 SPA Volvo's. The dynamic suspension rides amazingly, although for my personal tastes I wouldn't mind the sport suspensions added firmness, I'm still happy with the dynamic. Stock conti tires are trash, no grip and poor wet performance. Good wear. Overall, love it and the momentum T6 trim with premium and multimedia pkgs is well equipped.
