Very happy with XC60 T5 after 6 months.....
We downsized from our XC90 to the XC60 T5. I was apprehensive going from an AWD platform to the FWD. But thus far the XC60 T5 has been just terrific to drive, extremely responsive, fuel economy as advertised and the turbo makes it quite the pocket rocket. Lots of compliments too. Dealer has been great. This is our seventh (7th) Volvo over the years and the XC90 is the most fun Volvo yet.
Stealth deal.
This car is unkown to many it seems and does not get many reviews, but I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Awesome drivers car, great brakes, excellent steering feedback, and deceptively fast. Compared to BMW and Audi, this one is the way to go. Easily $5-8K less expensive, and has been very reliable. Great dealer support. Compared to my friends with Mercedes and BMW's, I am a happy camper! At 63K miles still trouble-free and very happy with this car. The 3.2 liter 6 cylinder is awesome.

Good for family with only 1 child
I purchased a 2016 XC60 this past December since I had a brand new baby and felt we needed a SUV for safety. The SUV is overall very safe im sure but the accessibility of the backseat is ridiculous. I cannot tell you how many times ive hit my head trying to maneuver my sons car seat into the middle seat. The only way you can easily get a car seat in the backseat is if you move either the driver seat or the passenger seat forward almost completely. My husband is 6'1" so if he is driving you may as well count the driver side of the car out in terms of being able to put a baby into the back. For the amount of money we paid for the vehicle i assumed the backseat would be comfortable which it is not for an adult. I am only 5'4" and am incredibly uncomfortable when i sit in the backseat with my son, to the point where you have to sit sideways because your legs have practically no room. I feel this is a HUGE design flaw on Volvo's part! If you only have 1 child and don't count on having any more then this is the car for you. However if you plan on having more kids good luck to them being comfortable in the back seat! I cannot wait until it is time to buy a new vehicle which is unfortunate because I heard such great things about Volvo's but probably will never buy another one again!

In love with problems
This car is the most pleasing I have ever had BUT...after 50 months and only 36,000 miles the drive shaft went. Early, a fuse to fail intermittently thus causing all the electricity in the car to go off and the car stopped dead and would not start until jumped. The brakes needed replacing at only 25,000 miles. Fortunately I have an extended warranty. I do not feel comfortable owning this car when it expires. What a shame because driving this car has otherwise been a dream

DO NOT BUY!
Hundreds if not thousands of reports of catastrophic engine failures in these cars as they as they age. Volvo has an extended warranty letter circulating out there but they are not standing behind their warranty so you will be out $15-20K. The US government just fined Volvo with one of the largest automotive fines ever for failing to respond quickly to recall vehicles and they would still prefer to take the government fine than to step up and fix their engine problems. That should tell you how bad this problem is. You’ve been warned. Our XC60 is now dead & being held for investigation by NHTSA for catastrophic engine failure that left my daughter sitting on the side of I-95. Volvo’s are structurally safe vehicles, but mechanical reliability is a key component of safety and these vehicles are NOT mechanically safe. Just spend a few seconds researching the terms “Volvo” and “oil consumption” or “Volvo” and “catastrophic engine failure.” It will be enlightening.

First and Definitely Last Volvo
Safety features are outstanding, but after driving car for 2 months, each day is as frustrating as the last in how poorly designed the interior is. Virtually no place to store things. In order to reach something easily (while driving), it has to be in one of the two cup holders. Bluetooth and iPod functionality is unintuitive. I have had to memorize exactly what will work when, which has relieved some of that frustration. Lots of reviewers praise the comfort; it has been more comfortable than Toyota Highlander, but not by much. Most frustrating : the poor service of ONLY Volvo dealer in my area. Not having a choice for service has been a major mistake.
Too many electrical problems
Very uncomfortable the seatbelt is sharp and cuts my neck with no adjustment. I actually ended up with skin cancer in the same spot where the seatbelt rubbed for years. Additionally this car has had electrical problems from the start. Now it keeps breaking down and they don’t know what is wrong. After having the car for 4 years I now have to get another one. I will not buy another Volvo again.

Great SUV
Low head space entering vehicle, beware. Once I got used to that (coming from a roomy Mercedes SUV) I fell in love with it. Smooth ride, lots of bells n whistles, good mpg, easy to handle, and nice on the eyes, a true long haul roadster. I enjoy it more than my former MB.
