It is a dependable and reliable car.
I love that the car is nice and durable. We have driven it from the south to the west coast to the east coast. Still going!.

Ageless Performance and Style
My vehicle is a 2005 which means that it is going on 15 years old at this moment. With that being said, I think this is a fantastic vehicle even taking into account its age. The electronics in the actual vehicle is outdated for today, but the performance and style of the vehicle is great for a vehicle with 180,000 miles on it.

Love my car, works and drives beautifully.
I honestly love my Volvo because it is the perfect car for me. The interior is much more comfortable than it looks, and is simplistic yet has everything that it needs. Repairs are not too expensive, and neither are the parts. In the time that I have owned it (I bought it used 3 years ago) I have done the repairs myself. This includes spark plugs, oil changes, and cleaning the cabin and air filters. The repairs are not hard to do by yourself, and completely worth saving the money and putting the time in. The performance is great, the car drives beautifully and handles/steers perfectly.

Safe, reliable and powerful.
I love the power and comfort of my Volvo x60. The only drawback is the smaller leg space for people in the backseat, and the break exhaust dust on the hubcaps. But I hear that newer Volvos now have black hubcaps to prevent that now! I feel safe and it has always been reliable with basic maintenance and upkeep.

I like the safety of it. One complaint is that it has had a lot of braking issues but it is also an older car.
It has a huge trunk that can fit a lot of things. It also has been ranked one of the safest cars.

Sleek, durable reliability.
My Volvo s60 has been reliable, durable throughout the years. Despite polar vortex temperatures, no problem starting. The heated seats, awesome for the cold temperatures. Known for it is safety, it lives up to it is name. Comfortable for longer trips. As miles have accumulated the suspension has been difficult, requiring a few repairs. Throughout the years, the steering has become tighter and more challenging turning into tight parking spots. As it has gotten older, the headlights have been harder to replace, possibly a defect. As it has gotten older, out of warranty repairs can get expensive. . But above all, an excellent vehicle that will give you years of reliable, durable driving pleasure.

Volvo sedan are my favorite car.
I love my Volvo. It is a quality car, great on the highway, and fun to drive. I will buy another Volvo for my next car. I trust Volvos and I have never had a bad experience. I can't wait to get another Volvo, I may even get a Volvo tattoo one day, who knows!

The Volvo is a very reliable and safe automobile.
Great car. Ac does not always work. Very safe car and is very comfortable. Very low maintenance and good gas mileage.
accountCircle Julia G
Has been in multiple accidents, yet no one was ever injured and it still runs.
Drives comfortably, however it is an older model, which can lead to mechanical problems with the car from time to time.

The volvo s60 is an awesome vehicle
My vehicle is very reliable. It has its normal problems like flats and standard upkeep but for the most part it has never let me down. I bought it from my brother for a very reasonable price. It rides smooth and all of the interior functions work fine. I love my car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Georgia H.

Luxury features, smooth driving, great stereo, reliable, great gas mileage. It has a sleek body style and nice leather interior. Just looks and drives great. Also does not require premium gas. The only con is that parts and maintenance can be pretty expensive.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Georgia H.

I really do not have any complaints with the car. The costs for oil, headlights, and other maintenance parts can be expensive. It being an older car you do need to be very attentive to its needs as well.
