Used 2014 Volvo XC60 Consumer Reviews
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.

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.
Bought Used
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.

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.

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.

Volvo scores on Versatility
R-Design is a blast. We have driven the vehicle on a dozen major road trips over the last two years. Sport mode is fast with tight paddle shifters and body hugging contoured seats providing comfort after a long day of touring. The XC60 is one of the safest vehicles in the world and now even more so with state of art technology and aggressive accident avoidance via performance characteristics. The rear cargo area is spacious enough to accommodate my road bike or mountain bike, foregoing noisy, wind resisting sport racks. The gas mileage needs improving with some help burning (factory design) regular fuel. The vehicle has been trouble free for two years of ownership and 25,000 miles of driving. Big Victory for Volvo!!! Vehicle remains fun to drive and trouble free! Underrated Mid-size SUV.

Awesome suv
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.
