More of a hatchback than a wagon

2015 Volvo V60 T5 Drive-E 4dr Wagon w/Prod. End 6/14 (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I've been driving my V60 with sports package for the last 3 months and have put 5000 miles on the car. The drive is nice, though there's a noticeable hesitation after stepping on the gas. Handling and ride are very good. It's much smaller than the boxy volvo wagons of old. The back hatch is adequate for groceries or a small dog (like my mini Aussie). But forget about bikes, even with the seats down. The legroom for backseat passengers is tiny. My pre-teen kids are ok but adults would be uncomfortable. The front seats on the other hand are exceptionally comfortable. The hi-tech & eco features are spotty, especially auto engine shutoff when stopped . MPG is well below EPA estimates.
Really Nice Used Car Value

I looked at small SUVs and wagons with high safety ratings and good reliability. Performance of this model is decent - I have the AWD with the older 2.5 T5 and the 5sp auto. I like the known reliability of the older engine, although the performance and fuel economy of the newer one was appealing, it wasn't an option in this model year, and I was looking for a lightly used vehicle. 2015.5 for electronics is key - better nav, better 'infotainment' with an upgraded Sensus setup. The car has a built-in wifi hotspot (it's ATT service, and free until Volvo figures out how to pass thru charges) in addition to OnCall (Volvo's version of OnStar) and Sirius traffic is free for 4 years from original sale date. Seats are very comfy - I don't have the sport package, which has larger bolstered seats, but I do have the Climate package, so everything that should be heated or cooled is done automatically. Storage is smallish for a wagon, but still useful. Styling of both outside and inside is nice - very Swedish still, which is good - I was glad to see that Geely didn't distract from that or the safety of Volvo when they purchased the company. Safety features are great - backup cam and sensors include a cross-traffic warning, and the City Safety function hasn't been used by me, but it's nice to know it's there.

Picked up our v60 at the plant in Sweden, great Experience! Then spent 10 weeks traveling europe,Scandinavian countries and the Baltic States in our new v60 .The v60 handled great in many different weather and road conditions. BEST seats I have been in on a long road trip ,very comfortable! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ,the Volvo overseas purchase program.My only complaint is that after a set amount of time I am not able to use my auto start function without paying a yearly fee.I own the car so I should be able to use all of its components. I call that greed on Volvos part. I've heard some other auto makers do the same thing,THAT'S NOT RIGHT!

Still very pleased with this car. Purchased with 14k miles on it in June 2016, now have 60k miles on it (July 2022): Have had zero problems in the 5 years since. I would have appreciated the plug-in hybrid, but that wasn't available in the US at the time. Plenty of power/acceleration for me when shifted into sports mode. Interior leather is very high quality. Many small design features are A+, which help it age well. It's a beautiful car inside and out.
