Sucks up $$$ like a Hoover

We bought it a little more than two years ago, at 90,000 miles. It has 110,000 miles now. It is comfortable and nice to drive on road trips. However, it is a money siphon. We replaced the AC condenser when we bought it. Since then we have replaced cabin blower, and recently replaced AC condenser again. Looking at possibly having to replace the AC evaporator as well. Get random low battery warnings, even though the battery is new and the electrical systems check out OK. We will soon have spent more on repairs than the value of the car.

Bought my 2nd Volvo used and it has been a dream car. No issues other than the USB and lighter has poor power when charging my phone. I was a bit worried about buying a used Volvo but so far it is really running fantastic. I still use my 2010 XC90 with over 250K miles without issue and hoping the XC60 will run without issues as well.

Xc-60 Turbo Review

Roy from Michigan, 11/12/2016
2013 Volvo XC60 T6 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Purchased this car after trading in a Honda CRV which was a very good car as well but wanted an all wheel drive SUV. Lots of choices but style and performance is important to me as well as space for utility and projects. The turbo charged engine is quick. It is sure footed on bad roads my state is known for. The ride is stiff but controllable but I like sport like handling and emergency avoidance features this Volvo has as standard equipment. This is safe and only real issues is first: rear seats very tight for adults but not often used in my case. Second controls are very different from what I was used to and had a learning curve which you must study to really use them properly but having no navigation and knowing the system it is fine now. My insurance went down, the safety is great, performance great, mileage is what you expect (25 mpg highway, 17-20 city), seats very comfortable, and styling very sharp and usable space well designed. Volvo dealers are not common but close enough that it is not a problem and reliability has been good. In short I would buy this safe premium SUV again.

Impeccable road manners; a few minor nits

Traded in an '06 Acura TL for my new 2012 XC60 T6AWD because I needed some cargo carrying space but in a compact/midsize package whose cockpit could still accommodate my tall/big body. Acura RDX was a finalist but then when I looked at the Volvo XC60 found too much more to like, especially the performance of the T6, and versatile interior. My first 2000 mile road trip revealed a few minor nits (somewhat tight footwell space, a few bugs in the new Sensus system, quirky nav system), but the XC60's impeccable road manners overcome these nits...it's such a smooth performer with the T6, cargo capacity is superior for this size/segment, and the handling is also good for a relatively tall CUV.

I have owned this vehicle since it was new. Not one problem. Best car I have driven in the snow over passes in Colorado. AWD system worked flawlessly. It was better the Audi quattro or BMW xdrive. Just a great all around car. Beyond comfortable drive across the country. Only issue was the backup camera had issues. Dealer said they fixed it, but never did. I fixed it myself and it took 5 minutes to add in the a/v filter.
