Most reliable and safe care I’ve owned

This car has comfort, safety, gets me from point A to B with no issues in all for seasonal weather. You can easily transport 4 people in this car (family of four) little children and car seats with plenty of space. I really am sad to sell this because it been the best car.

Favorite car ever!

This small car is comfortable, safe, sleek, and roomy. I love how it looks and runs like a new vehicle and it's ten years old!

Solid Car

Volvo is not the most exciting car inside, but it is definitely a safe car with some real pep. And the front seats are extremely comfortable.

All-Around Performer

This car sips gas, has turbo-power when you really need it, has a great stereo system, power-everything, handy cruise-control, sunroof, and a very comfortable leather interior. The only things I don't like are the dashboard lights were on for tire pressure warning and traction control service for most of the time I owned it. The tire pressure sensors were worn out when I got the car, and the traction control unit was a $900 part that I never did miss.

Volvo S60 AWD Turbo is unbelievable!!!!!

The Power and superb handling of this luxury sedan are second to none, not to mention Volvo's reputation for safety, like it's Boron Steel Safety Cage , Vehicle Stability Control, Front , side and curtain air bags, it's powerful 2.5 liter turbo engine provides unbelievable power and torque....I love this car
