I wanted a practical car to haul outdoor gear, bikes, kids and a dog. I've recently owned a 2013 Subaru Outback and a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I wanted a car with utility but that was comfortable on long drives and in city traffic. My 2013 Outback is great but I gave it to my daughter and it left me wanting a little better handling. The cargo area is practical but not huge. The cabin area is not huge but it fits me well. The car has roof rails for a roof rack and the roof height is practical for loading. I really like the way the car rides and drives but it's not a sports car. The thing feels solid and the whole package inspires confidence. AWD, slightly elevated ride height, wagon utility and drives like a premium car. Frosting on the cake: runs on regular unleaded gas. Update February 2019: I still love my V60 CC. I have not had any problems with the car. My local Volvo dealer closed so I have to drive further for service which is a bummer. I had to make a high speed evasive maneuver on highway 130. The speed limit is is 85 MPH and the wind blew an unsecured traffic barrier into my path. The Volvo was stable and composed and helped me avoid major damage to my car. My only gripe is that the back seats are a bit snug for adults. I recommend the V60 CC. It's a great car.

Love the car. Works great for wife and I. There are roomier wagons that haul more but this CC works great for us. Most comfortable front seats. Tech is dated and quirky but it works just fine. Decent fuel economy. Just something about this car tells me we’ll be keeping this one for a long time

Unreliable after warranty expired

Loved this car... until the warranty expired. Then we had 3 rounds of expensive emission-system repairs (check engine light). At 90K, a vibration problem developed that was never resolved after a couple thousand dollars spent on repairs. That's when we traded it in. The rear brakes also had to be replaced 3 times, and we kept getting low battery warning despite the battery testing out as good.

V60 turbo Plat with all bells and whistle

It's a zippy little vehicle that handles well. Upkeep is high. Brakes need replaced frequently with normal driving. Gas mileage is 10-18 mph, not good. Power steering is leaking at less than 45,000. Interior features are nice and there are many. Soft leather scratches with dog claws. Idiot lights are nice and tell you exactly which tire has an issue. My car had all the bells and whistle but I still needed to pay over $700 for the auto start and $900 for the engine block heater. I wish I never bought it. The last 6 months, I have sunk over $6000 for stuff which would have cost only a fraction with my other vehicles. Two seals on my power steering are leaking. Cost at dealership $1500 for parts because they want to replace everything not just the seals, 6 hours at $180 labor, and $46 for power steering fluid. Ouch. I am disapppointed as I expected more in Volvo overall. I am thinking, putting money in it, someday the cost will stop. I bought this at 45k and now it's at 47200. I wish I wouldn't have bought it. My advise, if your vehicle has a month warranty on it, schedule it for a look over so something big like this doesn't hit you days after your warranty expires. Next advice, don't buy one that is used; buy one lots of mileage left and 2-3 years of warranty. Also, snow clearance is bad. The vehicle came with the more spendy rims, and the snow builds up against the tire. I does handle very well in the snow. The extras like the auto windshield defroster, heated seats, and steering wheel are very nice. The camera is nice and clear but you have to wipe it a lot in the rain as the lens isn't protected. The warning system for being too close to something, don't trust it. Sometimes it is slow and sometimes it is too fast. The warning system doesn't catch anything that many bump under your bumper, like a curb. I am always stopping too far away from the curb in this vehicle but not my other vehicles. The car will suddenly brake if the vehicle in front of your at a stop light coasts backwards. That is hard on your neck. Getting in and out of the car is tough if you can't bend as clearance is tight. When I put the dogs in the back seat with the seats down, they have little head clearance. The car sits solid on the road; however, it sits lower than a lot of similar SUV's and you don't have the the view. Don't have your sunroof open on a puddle day or some truck will flood your vehicle if it drives by you in a puddle. If you park in left field in a parking lot to avoid door digs, surely you will return to your vehicle with a Clappett's 1980's rusty vehicle parked right up on your doors, never fails. The sports mode is fun to drive and zippy.
