This is the best car I have ever owned. I think I am hooked on Volvo now. Very comfortable. Great driving performance. Speed is great! Overall I rate this car very very good. Not excellent because there is always room for improvement.

Buying this was the worst decision I've ever made and the worst car I've ever owned! I purchased one because of the reputation Volvo has for reliability, but have faced nothing but intermittant problems and headaches ever since. The quality of these cars has gone down hill. OEM parts are cheap and flimsy. And they're just as expensive as German parts. Being european cars, dealerships think they have the right to charge ridiculous labor costs as well.
Handling is unresponsive and turns like a school bus. They state you will get 21/29 mpg, but that only happens if you never have to use your brakes. The weight of this car makes it chew through tires, gas, and broken suspension parts like crazy. Turbo lag and FWD make this car dull to drive in the city. Not too bad for the highway, but still not worth the cost.
I'm never buying a volvo again. If I could do it all over again, I would have bought a 3 series. Less issues, more feature rich, and a more fun to drive. The S60 needs a whole re-design....read morehide

Smooth as silk and deliver a punch when required. Like the brakes and dash.Also love to the insulation from the outside noise.A much better sound system and gear shift on the steering wheel would be great.

Just bought it 4 months ago. I really love this car. It is one of the smoothest cars I have ever driven. Also this car is extremely safe.

my family bought a VOLVO S60 2.5T, AWD for the first time and for a GOOD REASON because of its solid structure reputation and safety records and features. Despite that we didn't like about the interior because it looked out-dated design and the temperature controls are confusing to operate.
Over the course of less than 9,000 miles, we've grown fears of driving this car because so far we've over 8 accidents by all the family members! The front ends have been bumped and damaged 4 different times while parking because the front vision is limited or we can't see the bumper. The back ends have also been damaged and scratched heavily 3 different times while parking because of limited visions. There were at least 3 other incidents that we almost hit a car on the sides while driving because we could NOT see the sides! My sister was less fortunate because she hitted a person on a wheel chair because she didn't see it coming! Vision around the car is SO LIMITED AND BLIND SPOTS EVERY WHERE!
Now NO ONE wants to drive this car!
We are so very disappointed for the lack of safety concern in design that would PREVENT OR FORSEE ACCIDENTS. What good is a car if it is ONLY GOOD IN AN ACCIDENT when it cannot prevent or avoid it. What good is a car when people feel unsafe to drive it.
We sincerely hope VOLVO IS READING THIS. Because unless there is changes for the better, this will be our LAST VOLVO; we can't wait to trade it in for another car!
Sincerely
Disappointed Volvo Believer...read morehide

overall this volvo is a great production car (as it has been for the 9 years,as they have not changed the base model chassis). despite this lack of inspiration from the volvo design team, they have delivered a great stunning looking car.
the same old volvo inline 5 2.5 T engine gives the same great ride that all its cars do,although if you want to get this car repaired or tuned professionally it will be costly, as genuine volvo parts cost a great deal of time and effort to install. the interior is so roomy and extremely comfortable as volvo have taken mercesdes idea's and applied them with great sweedish detail.....
overall for this price there is no better car on the market, this car is great for families and guys and girls who want to go fast, as it combines style and sport brilliantly to produce a very exclusive car....read morehide
