Volvo s60 is an awesome car!

I love my 2018 Volvo s60, the color is a light silver sometimes shimmering with a blue tone. The inside features an awesome sound system and leather seats. This is the second Volvo I have owned. This car drives very smooth and is comfortable for long commutes.

I highly recommend Volvo, the cars are reliable, efficient, and safe.

This vehicle is very comfortable and smooth to drive, there are great safety features on the car and it has been very reliable. There were some issues with the breaks, but other than that it has been efficient and a car that we would consider buying in the future again.

Others should know its safe to. Drive.

Sensor alarms on sides have saved me from multiple impacts. Low gas mileage. Hate the price tag and color (silver).

Rebecca H

Best car for safety, comfort, and value.

It is easy to drive. Handles perfectly, never breaks down. The Volvo service department is wonderful and experienced. The das mileage is great highway and city. The fold in mirrors, the auto sunscreen on the back and side windows are nice features. The car is easy to drive in snow, rain or ice. I feel safe because if the weight of the car. The side lights that let you know a car is on your right or left side have saved me from having a wreck.

Need To Replace Brakes At 25,000

Because it's so heavy (and safe) it really goes through brakes especially in the front. It's also hard on the front tires which are wearing twice as fast as the rear ones. Other than needing to replace the brakes at 25,000 miles I have not had any problems with reliability, comfort or performance. It's been a great car.

Volvo s60, great car, reliable and safe.

The car is comfortable, road noise is minimal, the sound system is enjoyable, it is safe and fun to drive. The ride is always smooth, the leather is beautiful and soft. I have no complaints about this car. It is the best car I have ever driven and I would buy a Volvo again and again without hesitation.

Rhonda G

My Volvo is everything I was looking for in a car.

When I was looking to buy a car I knew that I wanted something that was safe but also something that looked classy but fun at the same time. The first time I drove my Volvo I knew I was in love. The safety features are fabulous, the look is exactly what I wanted and it is the most comfortable ride!

Volvo's are fun to drive!

After much research, I decided to lease a new Volvo. It was the perfect size, had all the bells and whistles as well as a competitive price for a luxury vehicle. It is been close to three years now and I have really enjoyed this car. It is fun to drive and has lots of room for all four people. It gets decent gas mileage- averages 24-29 per gallon. I have had no problems with it but I did have to replace the front tires at 25,000 miles.

Negative Owner Reviews

Rob Fingerote

Not reliable

We have to replace the brakes at 12,000 miles. The air conditioner has stopped working a two and a half years and it's going to have to be fixed. As compared to my 2019 Lexus ES 350 this has a higher level of technology which undoubtedly in the long run will lead to more expensive repair jobs. It's quite noisy and a gas guzzler! On a positive point, it is a safe car and some of the high-tech extras like a heated front windshield, 360 cameras and heated steering wheel are really good options. I kept my last Volvo a 1999 V70 for 18 years. I hope this can last as long. The seats are not as comfortable as a seats on the 1999 Volvo which is disappointing.

Pros from Owners

Melissa V.

It is sleek and safe, but not extravagant. I like the infotainment center and the navigation system. The seats are very comfortable, and it handles great on the road. I have owned 4 other Volvos and this is my favorite car. I do not have any cons. It is the first heated steering wheel I have had and now I feel spoiled.

Cons from Owners

Melissa V.

The trunk is a little small compared to what I am used to. A little piece of plastic is peeling off of the console, but that is probably my fault. I don't really have any cons. I love the car and would buy the exact same car again. It is everything I need.
