My wife continues to be happy with the XC-60. She is the primary driver. I found out that the stop/start system will never work for long in this vehicle. If the battery slips below 13.1 volts it won't engage. The mileage is slipping a bit. But at 71K miles it is reliable and solid The XC-60 continues to do very well. Gas mileage is a bit disappointing. 21 city, 25 hwy. I had a problem with the auto-stop and it took three visits to a dealer to get it fixed. Each dealer blamed the other. It has been working for a month so I hope this is done. I purchase a 2015.5 XC-60 4 cylinder turbo charged vehicle in February. The vehicle is great... Unfortunately, Volvo support is awful. The XC-60 comes with a print manual of about 200 pages and there is an on-line manual of 400 pages. Sadly, the manuals are either wrong or incomplete for many of the features. No mention of multiple dashboards, no mention of setting mpg vs instant mpg, low pressure tire indicator directions are wrong, no mention of how to collapse the back seat.... I could go on. The arrogance: I called Volvo and the young woman told me Volvo never changes their manuals once they are printed. I asked:"even on line". No never, for more than $40K: this is customer service? NEW COMMENT: My most frustrating current problem is the stop/start system. I have had to take it back for repair four times and now will take it back for a fifth. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It has gone out completely twice. Once they replaced the car battery and the second time they said the dealership didn't reset the system. Our newest problem is with the start/stop system. This will be the 5th time taking it back. It went out completely in the first year and they replaced the car battery. It went out six months later and the dealership claimed the tech didn't reset the system. It is now incremental. Volvo will tell you (they evidently have this writt I have two major gripes about our Volvo XC-60: 1. The back seat is unbelievably uncomfortable. The backs don't recline at all and is very uncomfortable. This is unlike our GMC Terrain, where the back seat can be moved back and forth about 10 inches, and the seats can be placed either upright or reclining a bit. 2. Learning to use the technology requires an extensive amount of time with the manual.... which does not include much of the information you will need. Setting bluetooth, radio stations, GPS are all several step, complex processes. WHY? New Comment, April 2019. The stop/start system doesn't work at all. Finally, the dealership admitted that the computer is set so that no matter the battery charge the stop/start system won't work. Tried another new battery and Volvo can't reset the computer to kick in when it should. You would need a constant 15 volt battery for the system to work. At 30K miles, we had to have the rear brakes replaced. It was only discs and the charge was over $500. My local shop won't touch cars with electronic parking brake. Another major repair and we revert to Acura or Lexus.

The more I found out about the Volvo XC 60 the more impressed I was, to the point that I got two. The price was considerably lower than comparable vehicles. The Volvo XC 60 has the most comfortable seats of any vehicle I've ever driven. Its safety features were top of the line. It had all the options I could get from other vehicles, and more. I listen to educational and music CD's and only with the Volvo could I replay a section I wanted to hear again. This feature used to be available in most vehicles, only Volvo kept it. Have had problems with minor things like sunvisor breaking, hatch door not responding to triggers, some electrical issues - they were all fixed. A customer service rep emails me regularly, making sure all my questions and issues are handled.

Best luxury SUV ever

I looked at several luxury crossover vehicles before buying the XC60. This is my second Volvo (my first being a S40 ) and I didn't think that I would love it as much as I did my S40 but Wow is all I can say! I thought a Volvo SUV would be boring and too old-fashioned but I was wrong. I would buy this 2015.5 again and again. I love running errands and taking long drives because it great on gas mileage and it is so nice to look at both inside and outside. Another plus is that it doesn't sit so high off the ground that you have to hoist yourself up just to get in like my Expedition. This XC60 is the perfect size.

This is my second Volvo and I traded in my Volvo S60 to buy the XC60. I was looking for more space without sacrificing good looks and performance. I love the XC60. Volvo makes a great quality product for a good price. And since the car takes 87 octane and 5 years free maintenance, the cost of ownership is really good. Also the service department at the dealership that I purchased both my Volvos from is phenomenal. The service staff is very professional and always helpful. I would encourage anyone in the market for a car to take a look at the Volvo.

I bought My 2015.5 Volvo xc60 January of 2015, July 2015 transmission goes out completely........no accidents or rough terrain or mishandling of the vehicle in any way. Computer has had several glitches generating problem messages regarding functions in the vehicle. Cars in the shop at present. I have traditionally kept my vehicles and maintained them for years after purchase. I don't see that happening with my Volvo. Instead I am looking into lemon laws for my state. we shall see how warranty/dealer takes care of this and future potential problems In any case I would " steer clear " of this Volvo for sure.
