Volvo is safe and fun to drive.
This car is very stylish and powerful. It is very reliable and technologically up to date. The car handles very well on curves and with front wheel drive it is very steady and safe on snow.

Volvo is reliable and comfortable.
This eco-friendly car is so versatile and dependable. I have hardly run into any problems, and I have had it for quite awhile now. I love the special arrangement of the car, especially in that the dashboard is tilted toward the driver seat. The car is also very quiet, especially when it is in the eco-setting.

Volvo's are extremely reliable and are a great luxury car to own.
I enjoy driving my vehicle because of the way it performs. Volvo's are very safe cars and are built like tanks. Since I have owned my car I have not had to put any money into my car. It is well made and drives like I am floating in the air ..

Volvo S60 is Comfortable and Fantastic!
The Volvo S60 is a turbocharged 5 sedan which provides a lot of pickup (when you need it), is very comfortable and a very safe vehicle.

Volvo s60 - best features!
I love my Volvo s60! It is stylish, comfortable and safe. My favorite feature is the cruise control. The vehicle automatically senses the speed of the drive in front of you and matches your speed to that vehicle. You do not have to slam on your brakes to slow down, which helps keep your brakes in good condition for much longer.

This is most safe vehicle you will ever own.
I love everything about this vehicle. Most of all, I love the safety of this vehicle. After having wrecked one and drove away from the wreck, I am a believer! I dislike nothing.

Push to start reliable vehicle.
This vehicle is extremely reliable and gets good gas mileage. It is a bit low to the ground so sometimes hits potholes and curbs easily, but other than that, it is extremely comfortable and gets cool very quickly. There is plenty of space in the backseat and trunk, however, there is no spare tire.

My car drives pretty fast so that is always nice.
My car is decent. I mean as long as it is running it is fine to me but I tend to run across a couple problems like the breaks. Whenever I drive there’s always this squeaking sound and I thought it was my brakes so I got them fixed and my car was still making the squeaking sound it still does until this day never figured out the problem.

Safe, comfortable family vehicle
I feel like the car is very comfortable and has a luxurious interior. It feels like a safe and reliable vehicle. The maintenance costs are high and there are lots of little glitches with the computer aspects of the vehicle, like the vehicle message system. It also guzzled oil and isn't particularly fuel efficient.

It's expensive to maintain, but gets pretty good gas mileage.
Comfortable car. It gets decent gas mileage. It has had some expensive and strange issues.

How my used Volvo with 35,000 miles is holding up.
My Volvo is a comfortable ride thanks to the leather seats and balanced suspension. However, the car rides very low to the ground, which makes it difficult to approach steep hills or driveways with high curbs. The steering base is quite wide for a sedan, so navigating quick turns can be slightly more cumbersome. Based on the age of the car, there isn't as much 'get up and go' as you might expect from a car that's 6 years old, and it sometimes takes beyond 60 seconds to speed up. Ultimately my biggest concern is that this car, which runs best on mid grade gas, is not extremely fuel efficient. Allegedly it should be getting 23 mi/gallon, but if the vehicle is not kept in tip top shape that plummets tremendously.

Volvo parts recalls - safety issues 2020.
Volvo has issued two major safety recalls this year for my car. They pay for the cost of replacing the part / fixing the issue, however, due to a parts shortage there is a 3 month delay in correcting the safety issue, which leaves the car a safety risk for me.
accountCircle Beebee L
It is pretty good car and I like it.
Sometimes it will have oil issues and other issues that require a lot of money to fix it. I sometimes be wishing I could just go and trade the car but hey it is a good car but just some issues are annoying. I have had this car for 3 years and it is still working actually and that is really crazy even after all those issues.

Great vehicle, safe, powerful and stylish.
My vehicle is powerful it has great pickup. I like the safety features such as blues and brake assist. It is the best vehicle I have owned and it has been dependable from day one. I like the style of body and it looks classy but it is not overstated.

The most comfort and reliable car!
The comfort is amazing and there are not a lot of problem that I have encountered with this vehicle. The reliability is 10/10 and so is the comfort of this vehicle. The performance is well the only problem I have faced is the Bluetooth feature sometimes it would stop working but it fixed itself.

Feels luxury, looks sleek, and is enjoyable to drive.
The car is low to the grow and on bad roads can get destroyed easily. Smooth ride. Wife vehicle. Blind spots. Acceleration is amazing. Very comfortable. Feels luxury. I would recommend overall if you have enough money in case something happens because repairs cost a lot. Tires are also amazing but very expensive. I love the temperature feature and the car cools it and heats up fast.
