Absolutely rock solid car and extremely safe!

At the time I bought my 2009 Volvo S60 SE, Ford had recently purchased Volvo and had started integrating some Volvo advanced technological design and safety processes into their Ford vehicles. Regrettably, Ford also was beginning to have a less than positive effect on the Volvo production line. My 2009 Volvo S60 SE was the last

of the somewhat “old school” bullet proof 100% genuine Volvo. There is not a single bolt/trim/electronic/etc piece of Ford/Volvo mixed components or software on my car... It is absolutely 100% ALL VOLVO! That’s an outstanding thing. My car is 10+ years old - has 51000 miles on it and a complete Volvo maintenance record plus verifiable oil changes every 3000 miles with Mobil1 full synthetic oil. You might say that I’m babying it and you’d be absolutely correct. I bought this with the intention for it to be the last car I’ll ever buy. The only way that I’ll ever purchase another car is if full electric cars become more reasonably priced and available to me on my limited retirement budget. (Or heaven forbid, the S60 gets involved in a serious accident and is totaled. The car is ultra reliable..gets good gas mileage and maintenance costs are reasonable. What’s not to like?

The sporty Swedish sleeper...

I bought this car before I knew anything about Volvo, and I'm so glad I did. Yes, Volvos are expensive. Yes, Volvos aren't as luxurious inside as BMW, Audi, or Mercedes-Benz. It may not have all the luxury features that those brands do, but this car has something that they don't. Character. The first thing you'll notice is

the leather seats and how they conform to your body and make you feel snug and warm. The next is the simplistic and intuitive layout inside. As soon as you start it, you'll love the growl and meaty tone of the turbocharged 5 cylinder engine. Once you put it in drive, you'll be in love. This is the perfect car for driving enthusiasts that don't want a mainstream brand. It's the perfect car for driving enthusiasts that want more performance and fun out of a daily driver. It's the perfect car for a young person that needs a compact but practical sedan. This car changed my life.
