Review of Volvo s40 2011 vehicle.
Lots of maintenance. The car usually needs full synthetic oil. I usually pump with premium or plus fuel. Very fast, t5 engine. Comfortable. Automatic seat adjusters for better comfort. Not too hot with polyester seating in the summers. Older car so has CD player.

Gotten great safety reviews.
Great luxury-feeling car. Gets good gas mileage. Very comfortable to drive and looks great! Haven't had any major repair issues. Very reliable and dependable car.

Beautiful Car w/ Top Notch Features - Costly to Fuel Up and Maintain
The performance is fantastic but when little things break they are very costly to repair and the car guzzles gas (especially the T6). This is a great car for highway commuting and long distance travel but not ideal for city driving. It helps to be a little handy. I've saved myself a bundle changing my own headlight bulbs, fuses, etc and diagnosing problems using an OBD Scanner instead of heading right in to the mechanic.

The safety. That is the most important thing
I like the safety that is built in to Volvos. They hug the road like the tires have suction cups attached.

Very reliable, comfortable driving vehicle, leather interior.
The Volvo 2011 s60 model has been very reliable, dependable, and I maintain vehicle as instructed. Very comfortable car to drive, great features such as blis, Bluetooth, memory on car seat.

I love the way it handles and the beauty of it.
The blower motor went out which was expensive but I consider it a car payment or two. Aside from that I have loved my car and enjoy the way it drives and handles along with the look of the car. It is a beautiful car. Not to mention it is one of the safest vehicles on the road. My next vehicle will be another Volvo.

That it is a pretty reliable and spacious vehicle.
The parks for the car are very hard to get the check engine light has been on since a week after we got the car the same problem with the solenoids happened every year it has a rough ride you feel all the bumps I love the sunroof it is pretty reliable if you take care of it.

Nop issues. I've replaced the breaks and that been it. I can't think of anything else that's been wrongly

I got it at a good deal so I'm happy with it. I also love Volvos and the color. I paid 3000 and no issues so far knock on wood
