Used 2016 Volvo XC60 Consumer Reviews
1 month into my 2016 Platinum
I really love this car. I had a 2011 XC70 T6 prior which i was mad about, but i have to say after transitioning to this, i love it just as much within the first month. This is a little faster (same engine but 1 second faster off the line), less roll although this is taller. I very much like the way it drive, feels and handles. It's not perfect but it is very much nothing to complain about. I love the interior tech. The Platinum package is the way to go. You can do R-Design Platinum but the version is simple a few bells here and there, essentially it's the same car. The Navigation can be a bit more intuitive but as of 2018 model, that's all done and over with. This is simply all about the "up to 2017" models. I would simply say, if you're considering this kind of a car, there is no reason not to own one. It is a fun toy to have and it will do the job very, very well.

Safety and comfort
Review for Volvo Volvo has been around for decades and have been setting the safety standard for years. Not only are volvos safe, but there also comfortable, stylish/perform well, dependable, and affordable. I am a very picky person when it comes to cars and it takes a lot for me to consider a car. When I look at buying a car I look at the overall styling of it, if it is comfortable or not, if it is dependable, but above all I look at how safe it is and in my opinion volvo blows all of these categories out of proportion. SAFETY- As I said before Volvo has been setting the safety standard for years; they have come out with everything from the three point seat belt or pedestrian detection with full auto brake to auto pilot system on cars. Volvo cares deeply about the safety of their buyers and unlike other car brands that put luxury first or convenience they put safety first. All Volvos come standard with a pre-collision system called city safety. In my opinion volvo cars are the safest cars on the road today. COMFORTABLE- Volvo also cares about how comfortable its passengers are. Volvo has gone as far to have special seats designed by orthopedic surgeons to make the ride of a volvo more comfortable. They use very nice soft to the touch materials in their cars that its passenger appreciate. STYLING AND PERFORMANCE- Volvo has sleek designs that set them apart from other auto maker from there Thor Hammer headlights to their distinctive long LED taillights. When you see a Volvo on the road (especially the new ones) you can tell it's a Volvo because of the sleek styling of it.I think that Volvo does a great job of making their cars head turners. For years Volvo did an ok job in the performance, but in the last decade they have really been improving the performance of their cars. All their cars come standard with turbocharge engines, but for those who want a little more of a driving experience like me, you can get a special line of Volvo called the R-Design. The R-designs come with special turbo engines tuned by the Swedish racing company Polestar (Polestar also tunes the suspension of the car). I own a Volvo XC60 R-Design which is a crossover and it feels like I’m driving a sports car like the Lexus IS or BMW 3 Series. Dependability- Volvos are very reliable I have never had a major issue with mine and neither have my family members who have one. There a little more expensive to work on but they’re worth it. AFFORDABILITY- Volvos have a long range of price tags, but for what they are there very reasonably priced. There prices range from lower $30,000-well over $90,000 in the U.S., but you can get a year old volvo in the 20's.

Perfect car except fuel economy
Excellent ride and performance. Great handling and sound system. The only negative is the poor fuel economy.

Put on Michelin cross climate2 tires
Those tires are so good that they rate over 90 for everything so no need for any other kind of tires now. Now use car all the time for door dash as retired and got bored. Works perfect as has the push button to open rear hatch to get food out. No issues at all with this car. I do need to get in touch with repair because the GPS system needs update as AT&T is going to higher 5 Gig than my I believe has a 3 Gig Speed and now needs to be able to do 4 and 5 Gig speeds or will eventually not work at all and uses a modem in the car. Need that to dash and just called and that is not out till latter this year so no upgrade avail yet.

Great Vehicle
Great car with a lot of features. The 6cyl turbo has awesome power and gets this up and going quick, unfortunately they replaced it an eco engine for the newer models.
