One of the most underrated vehicles.

So far I have not had any major issues with my vehicle at all since I have purchased it. My car has heated seats, sunroof, navigation with seat memory on both front seats. The ride is very smooth and it picks up quickly. It has been worth the money choose Volvo.

Volvo. Not just a safe, boring car anymore.

I had never owned a Volvo prior to this one. Volvo has really stepped up to the challenge to compete with some of the more modern and sleek high end cars. The features are fantastic! Volvo has created a super safe and luxurious family 'sports' car. I have owned Chevrolet and Infiniti both and never thought about a Volvo. I will be a loyal Volvo customer from now on!

Bruce W

Reliable but sporty car for all.

A great family car. Includes a rear view camera, an infotainment system, luxury seats, and an accurate and reliable GPS. The speakers in the car are amazing. Seats do not get uncomfortable after long periods of driving. Brakes are smooth and drive assist really aids me when I want to change lanes.

More features would be nice and deals for loyal Volvo customers.

Tires seem to blow out a lot and they are expensive to replace. I wish my warranty I paid extra for covered more. This car is very comfortable and super fun and easy to drive. Makes road trips go by quick. I feel very safe and more in control in than car than any I have driven.

S60 Polestar is exciting and fun

It is an amazing vehicle with great performance and handling. It is extremely comfortable and safe. It is also fun to drive.

Terry T

Great riding and driving car.

I love my Volvo (it is my 3rd) for many different reasons. Most important is that I feel very safe in it. I was t-boned by an old man in an old SUV when the car was 2 weeks old and the police and firemen told me that if I would have been in any other car, I would not have walked out. It is extremely comfortable and it has a solid ride. All the controls are easy to see and use. My problem is that on the highway, I get carried away and because the ride is so smooth, I have to remember to look at the speedometer. Getting a new one when they come into the showroom lastly, and most important is that their service department is fantastic.

Best vehicle on the road. Top vehicle and the safest vehicle you can buy.

This is a very safe vehicle with all the safety features anyone could want. It drives very well and provides a comfortable ride. It has a navigation system, telephone and CD. There is also internet and the vehicle will not allow you to use it unless the vehicle is parked. The vehicle also has a front braking system.

Scott S

One of the safest cars on the road

Love the design, comfort, fuel economy, simplicity, and quality

My heartbreaking Volvo s60.

After years of driving Volvo's, this was my dream car and drove it out of the showroom floor. It has had nothing but problems from week 2, when the fancy tire blew. I had to change all 4 tires within a few months. Then there was one breakdown after another. Anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. To this day, and interestingly, the check engine is on as I write.

MY Volvo: Details to help car buyers

I like my Volvo a lot the really only problem is that I chose the color black without knowing that black absorbs the heat from the sun. My Volvo has leather seats, for most of the time they are very comfy. I recommend Volvo for people who are interested in buying a new, nice car. Make sure you do not buy the black style! I would recommend white.

The Volvo s60 - it is an ok vehicle.

I wish it had remote start, a backup camera and a rear windshield wiper. It is comfortable, drives well. I do not like the “auto shut-off” thing that automatically comes on that turns off the car at red lights. I wish there was a way in the settings to make it not come on automatically.

This is great small luxury car.

It handles great. It has a awesome safety rating because I usually have my kids that is a must. It has small trunk space though. A small backseat too. It is overall a great small luxury car. I love my American made cars but the European are second to none..

Pros from Owners

Diana W.

Love this vehicle. Perfect sedan. It has a very smooth ride and plenty of room inside. Enough bells and whistles to keep me happy but not unneeded extras. The trunk has plenty of room. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat.

Cons from Owners

Diana W.

I cannot think of any. Nothing has been noticed that I do not like. For me it is the perfect vehicle. Did not want an SUV. I wanted a sedan that fit my lifestyle and this is it. I would buy this same car in a heartbeat.
