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.

I bought a 2013 Volvo XC60 3.0L V6 Turbo. I love how fast the car drives however, I've owned the car for 6 months and its been in the shop 4x since. There was an issue with the alignment but that was resolved (I had to take it to the dealer because when I took it to firestone 2x in 2 different states the car still didn't drive straight). I then had a problem where the car would not read most of my audio files on my usb, and then if there was a whole folder that it couldn't read it would completely stop working and I needed to stop the car and turn it off and on, (sometimes that didn't resolve the issue) that issue came back 2 more times since. I've had to replace the rotors twice already. It's almost as if they make them out of plastic. I had replace them because they warped, it made the steering wheel shake violently when I went 45 mph or faster. The car is a very rough ride, so if you have back issues I would look at something else. I drove for 11 hours and by the time we got to our destination it felt like somebody took a baseball bat to my back. I was looking for a reliable AWD vehicle because I live where there is a ton of snow and ice, also the closest Volvo shop is 4 hours away so I can't exactly pop in if I have an issue. This car is not that! I don't hate everything about the car, I love how stable it is at high speeds. I live where the speed limits are 80 mph and with this car passing is no issue. When you put your foot to the floor, the car goes into cheetah mode and takes off. Its AWD system is not the best, with its 60(front)/40(back) split. My sister has an 2013 Outback and that cars AWD system is a lot better than the Volvo's, hands down. The BLIS package has some issues, it gives you false readings quiet often, that being said it saved me a few times. I have LED headlights that have the active bending feature which helps when driving at night through passes. I like this cars parking sensors, they've saved me countless times. I get 17-18 mpg around town, and 19-20 mpg on the highway however, I do have a heavy foot. I can deal with most of the issues this car has but, the rotors anger me every time I think about them. So the question is would I buy this car if I knew everything I know now? My answer most likely would be no. My reasoning is mainly that the rotors are expensive and putting down that much money so often is problematic. Not mentioning how much time this takes, last time it took the dealership 5 days to replace them. So if you are a fan of back pain, and you have money to waste, and you have all the time in the world this car is the perfect car for you! I think next time I would rather buy a V6 Subaru Outback!

Second XC-60 (should have learned lesson on the first one). Less than 2 months old and been to shop 5 times already. Last car should have been officially labeled lemon. This one, not quite as serious, but nonetheless time consuming for me. No compensation from Volvo for all my time and gas spent going to shop over and over and over. Even complaints to corporate Volvo get nowhere - they just repeat the misinformation the service dept spreads. How many times do you have to take a car in for the same problem? Anyway, I will never buy another Volvo. Too bad, it was pretty and fun to drive. Just wish the problems didn't persist.
XC60 - Lookin' good

I bought my wife her new 2013 XC60 about a month ago. About six months ago I had purchased myself a 2013 Acura RDX. Boy, am I jealous. The Volvo was more expensive, but it is a much better vehicle.
I love my Volvo!!!

I love this car! First off, I own 5 volvos and this one is by far my favorite. It drives amazing and has a smooth ride. Has a nice pick up with the turbo and is very roomy. My favorite things are how comfortable the car is, how great looking the car is and the safety features! My vehicle came w/ the parking sensors front and back, back up camera, BLIS, and the crash collision feature. Recently I almost had a crash in traffic and this feature saved my car from rear ending the person in front of me, amazing. The only things I dislike about the vehicle is how navigation doesn’t include all streets on the map, there is no storage area for your phone to go, sometimes connecting your phone w/ the cord lags when selecting music and you have to mess w it for it to work. Overall it is an amazing car and foresee myself driving it for many years to come! Volvo for life :)
