I want my S60 T6 back...

I traded my 2012 S60 T6 (with Polestar Mod) for a 2013 XC60 R-Design after seeing a beautiful Cosmic White XC-60 on the showroom floor. The S60 and XC60 share many components, especially the interior, and I thought I would get about the the same comfort and fun to drive in a more versatile vehicle. I was wrong. If, like me, you are smitten by Volvo's beautiful R-Designs, make sure you spend time in those "special R-Design sport seats" to make sure you can get comfortable. Volvo just doesn't do sport seats right. For a company that's known for its superb seat comfort, that is a big disappointment. My S60 fit like a glove and was superbly comfortable. I want it back.

Not too shabby

After comparing and doing research for many months, I bought this car new mostly for the design (exterior and interior) and value. It is a very sharp looking little SUV, and for its class, it is reasonably priced! The Bluetooth and technology interface works perfectly, and I find the controls to be fairly easy to navigate. A couple of annoying things about it are the slow acceleration and some comfort issues. I am 6'4", and my leg rests against the sharp edge of the middle console too much. Overall, I like it a lot, and I have had no problems with it mechanically so far.

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

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.
