I shopped around for months. First of all, don't be afraid to internet shop outside of your geographic area. I bought mine 300+ miles away and got an extraordinary deal on exactly the car I wanted. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the car--everything is well thought out, intuitive, and the car is a true pleasure. I opted for the platinum/BLIS/heated seats etc. pkgs. and all of the added safety features are amazing. The workmanship, build quality and thoughtfulness of design shows here. Frankly, I haven't had anything to criticize or second guess. I would suggest that u drive several models to find the right engine, AWD v. FWD etc before choosing. The combo I chose emphasizes a more cushy ride which is what I was seeking. Remember, that you have the option of getting 19 or 20 inch tires. I stuck with the 18's and no complaints although some may find this model not "sporty" enough. I did rent an AWD while in Canada for a week, and found that model to be faster and sportier. The choice is yours! Also, I chose the base engine and it is more than adequate and zippy.

Love the Drive-E T6

I just leased a new XC 60 AWD with the new Drive-E T6 engine with the turbo and supercharger with the 8 speed transmission. Am coming from a 2009 X3 3.0si with stick shift. This is the first automatic transmission I have owned in years and I am REALLY impressed with the engine/transmission combination. Drove 200 miles on 2 lane roads the last couple of days and did lots of passing. Shift into sport mode and stomp on it and the acceleration is instant. No hunting for gears at all and in sport mode the transmission really holds a gear. Even in regular mode I've been impressed with the transmission. Well worth the extra couple of grand for the Drive-E T6 engine. Ride quality is very nice, better than the BMW. Handling isn't quite as good as the X3 but is fine for the kind of driving I usually do. I'm very happy with my choice, having looked at the X3 and Q5 too. Much better value for the money than the X3 and wanted the extra room of the XC60 compared to the Q5.

Car has been in for service now 4 different times so same problem. Intermittent error lights, abs, tire pressure and city safety. Dealership waited out the warranty so now Im paying for repairs that started under warranty. We have two xc60`s and the 2015 has the same error. Interesting that you get a service inquiry whenever the error lights come on. It appears Volvo has lost its long term dependability and the service has erroded. After 4 family Volvos we are shopping for a different car. Real sad since we have had older 200k miles with other volvos.

A Premium Crossover that won't break the bank

THE GOOD: Competitive pricing, ample cargo space, reliability no issues, nice design, fast shifting 8-Speed Aisin automatic transmission, fit and finish, real leather seats, adaptive display easy to read speed and tachometer, relative quietness, panoramic sunroof, low maintenance cost, regular (87 Octane) fuel, satisfactory handling, little to no turbo lag, quick throttle response in sport mode. THE BAD: Fuel economy not on par with EPA (c/h/m 22/29/24 vs reality 20/24.5/21.3), no ventilated seats available, no sync button for dual zone climate control, short-life wipers, cumbersome and un-intuitive infotainment system, intrusive start/stop system, torque steer and frequent tire spinning with FWD (AWD offers much better handling especially at full throttle from standstill), two stage door opening when locked, some door panel and city safety device rattle. THE UGLY: Raspy and unrefined 4 cylinder engine (especially at higher RPMs where the engine sounds like a turbo-diesel), engine clatter at idle, ordinary ride quality not on par with a premium crossover, clunky transmission, odd lurches from a standstill and sometimes at parking lot speeds. THE VEREDICT: A good value proposition, well planned with the need of some fine tunning in a competitive market segment. Albeit, if you are looking for more refined vehicle manners in terms of engine note (6 cyl Acura RDX) and ride quality (Lexus NX, Mercedes GLC) or engaging driving experience (Porsche Macan, BMW X3, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q5) you will probably have to disburse thousands of dollars extra.

Purchased this volvo from dealership and it was nothing but trouble. I have had to replace the A/C motor with 40, 000 miles. The driver side seat actuator broke a couple of thousand miles after replacing that. At 50,000 miles had to replace USB adapters and had to replace the window controls on the drivers door. To top it off, at 62,000 miles the timing belt slipped and cause the motor to lose time and caused catastrophic damage inside the motor. Volvo Of Winston Salem, NC said they would be happy to replace that motor for $16,000. Talked to Volvo USA and Volvo Sweden and they would not do anything to assist. Volvo USA told me that the reason the timing belt slipped was because they spark plugs had not been changed when they were supposed to be changed. That is a mechanical impossibility. I researched and found almost 200 cases of the timing belt slipping and causes catastrophic engine failure. I have never experienced the type terrible customer service I experienced with Volvo of Winston Salem, NC and Volvo USA. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!.
