The best speakers a car could have.

My 2017 Volvo s60 is the first car I have ever owned, I love it. Not only is it extremely comfortable but it is also very spacious, and the car seems very compact and small but once you get in you do not feel cramped. It has very good gas mileage. The speakers are the best speakers I have ever heard on any car, it is perfect for road trips or just to go and get groceries. It responds fairly quickly and if for whatever reason the car feels like it is going to crash, the car take control and stops immediately. It drives very smooth and is all around a very good looking car from the exterior to the interior.

Volvo s60 review. Very good vehicle with amazing qualities.

Drives smoothly, has built in Bluetooth to connect to phone or mobile devices. Air conditioning in front and back to keep air filtered throughout the car. Button to start engine. Good speakers that sound well and clear. Speed and breaks smoothly along with adjustable wheel.

Sonia N

It is good on gas. Gives good highway miles.

It handles well. Not too big. Nice radio. I like the color. I like the seats, the headrest and the climate control.

Volvo s60 sedan 2017. Love this car!

I love my Volvo. I think it is a great looking car and has been very reliable for the most part. The only issue I had with it so far was the secondary battery going bad, however that was covered under the factory warranty. I love the interior! The two tone brown/black interior is sharp.

I really love driving my Volvo because it's comfortable and safe.

This is my fourth Volvo. It's comfortable, fun to drive and looks good. I have no complaints.

Safe, reliable and sleek, the Volvo s60 platinum inscription is a winner.

The comfort of the s60 is incomparable to any other car I have owned. I have owned three (3) Volvos and I have loved all of them. Two of them have been the s60 and one was the s80. Each one of them has had a smooth ride, responsive pick up and looks sleek. I love all of the various features, and the look of the cars Volvo makes. I have never experienced any problems.

Kristen Y

Safe, comfortable, and fun to drive.

I do not utilize all the features, there are many and some require the $200/year Volvo subscription and internet subscription. I do love the comfort and speed. Has great pickup and drives wonderfully. The aesthetic details feel luxurious and the safety ratings are great.

Negative Owner Reviews

Thomas B

It is very safe and has a nice interior. Somewhat of a firm ride. Infotainment is very outdated. Luckily the new model is coming out in 2019

I like the outside appearance and the interior quality. Also like the pickup of the car. Can't stand the infotainment system. Like the Harmon Kardon Stereo but hate the navigation and the connectivity with my phone. Constant complaint with this model

Amanda M

Sporty midsize luxury sedan.

I like the vehicle but it does not have a backup camera or some of the other features that other manufacturers include in their base models of cars/ SUVs and most people would expect a Volvo to offer more than lesser priced makes and models of vehicles.

The safe and sparkly s60. You will not regret it!

The s60 is super safe. I also have a black car and there are flecks of rainbow in the paint, which makes it look really cool in to the sun. One of the things I dislike about the s60 is that whenever a tire is low on air, it does not tell which specific tire is low, so that makes it more difficult to figure out.

Pros from Owners

Jennifer S.

My vehicle is AMAZING! It is fun to drive, with plenty of power and yet not too much for all the city miles I tend to put on. With all the amenities a woman could ask for, and also super easy to maintain / low maintenance overall - and I put on a lot of miles. I live in Minnesota, and I have never once had to worry about it not being fully reliable, even in a snowy, frigid winter. Comfortable AND beautiful.

Cons from Owners

Jennifer S.

I wish it had a heated steering wheel, or the option to at least add on economically. Also, some of the early maintenance issues seemed to happen quickly - new tires at 30k miles, new brakes at 60k. I wish each of these things had lasted just a little longer.
