Dependable workhorse

After 5 years and multiple cross country trips our XC-60 is still going strong with everything still functioning as if it were new! Tires still have plenty of tread at 56,000 miles. Maintenance provided by the dealer was very well done during the time we had the car. After the complimentary three services were completed, the cost was a little steep, but they did an excellent job. I'd buy a new one, if I were in the market.

The XC60 was a great compromise for value and features including, of course, safety for my new family. The cargo handling is great as we have a dog, and car really achieves both form and safety pretty seamless and gives us the feeling of both comfort and zippy performance on the highway. This car really kicks and has smooth power throughout all stages of driving (highway, local, cruising, etc.). We looked at most of the other SUV's and chose this one on value (which is hard to say given they all are upwards of +mid-30's when well equipped.

My First Volvo OSD - Awesome!

I purchased my Volvo XC60 by ordering it through Volvo's little known OSD (Overseas Delivery) option. The car made exactly the way I wanted it, I was able to get a color on that model that isn't available in the US, and interior options that also weren't available in the US. Volvo flew me and my husband to Gothenburg, Sweden to pick the car up at the factory there. We had a nice lunch there, they pulled it onto the factory showroom floor and gave us a thorough lesson on how everything works, set us up with auto insurance to drive in Europe and set us free. We drove through Sweden and Norway. The handling on the very narrow and winding roads through the Norwegian Fjords was awesome. The steaming coffee cup warning telling me I seemed tired and should stop for coffee to rest only came up once on those crazy winding roads. The car thought I was sleepy and gave me a warning! That car has great acceleration for heavy metropolitan traffic. It is so comfortable to sit in and passengers are likewise comfortable. The only complaint I have is that it could be quieter in the car. The road noise is a little louder than I'd like, but not nearly as loud as in my past cars. Other than replacing tires and a couple of batteries we have had no major repairs yet. We do stay on top of our maintenance and get that done exactly on time. We just let go of a 2004 Volvo S60 that we had for its entire "life" and it still ran great. Maintenance is the key. As far as the safety equipment, blis, etc. it works terrific and yes, it will throw on the brakes when needed. You do have to be sure that the outside sensors are clear of bugs or you might find yourself driving to a high pitched alert alarm without being able to turn it off. I had this happen and it was just a bug that splatted right smack on the sensor at the front grill. The car was sure I was about to run into something (all the way home) and it kept trying to tell me! I could not be happier with my XC60. We just got back from Europe where we picked up our second OSD, the all-new XC40. What a sweet car! I love my Volvos. I highly recommend the XC60. It has served me very well all these years and I would pick it again and again!

My Volvo is Great

Safety is the most important factor, followed by comfort, reliability, luxury, style. All in a reasonably priced package. And the repair work doesn't cost a fortune! I have bought Volvo for years. XC60 suits our lifestyle, and the dog enjoys it, too.
