2012 Volvo S60 consumer reviews

I got the 2012 s60 t5 used with 74000 miles on it. Had its for 2 years and I could never say enough good things about this car. By far the BEST car I've ever owned. As for its driving. OMG ! Everything about this vehicle is perfection the steering the handling gas mileage and after all this it saved my life in a horrific crash I love to have another one and won't be happy until I do. out of five stars it's easily 10

I bought my s60 in 2021 with 89,000 miles. Immediately after purchase it was saying no oil. I took it to dealership, they changed the oil and sent me on my way. The oil was leaking out, one quart a week. They kept saying there was no leak, they didn’t know what was happening. A month in a half later the car stalls out on the highway. I get it towed to the shop and they tell me I need a whole new engine. THANK GOD I purchased an extended warranty but still had to fight with them to replace it. It took them 2 months to fix it. I pick it up from the shop, get on the highway and my coolant level light comes on and says I need to add coolant. After that my car leaked coolant EVERYDAY. My dad helped me get it fixed. New radiator cap. One month later my window went off track and exploded. My brake pedal fell off. The glove box and center compartment broke and this all happened in the span of 6 months. The worst car I’ve ever owned. Please please do not buy this car. One mechanic I spoke with said that the 2012 s60’s were a fluke year. Volvo changed their make up after that year. Also I had 4 recalls while I had it as well. Shew.

This car is horrendous reliability wise, seriously run as fast as you can if you don’t have the money for thousands in repairs immediately when you buy it. It has a bad transmission and really bad misfiring problems. If you want comfort without breaking down get a Lexus. I bought it at 101k miles and immediately had 4 new problems within 2 weeks, all of which are expensive of course. Don’t even think about it if you wanna get one. I’d hate for anyone to go through the agony of attempting to daily this.

This car was simply terrible,purchased it used in 2015,had MAJOR repairs the last several years that made impossible to own.This year I had $2600,(2022),today I was told I need $1500 for a repair to keep it on the road.I have had three issues that were almost dangerous,leaking breaks,oil were the norm!

My Volvo S-60, T-5 has been one of, if not the best car I've owned. It is comfortable and has outstanding handling and acceleration with great highway gas mileage. In-town mileage leaves something to be desired but is nothing I can't live with.

This is a fast car with great all wheel drive system. So comfortable you can do 8 hrs easily. Sound system is great and steering wheel controls make cruising a joy. Power moon roof lets the perfect amount of air and light in for a wind in your hair feel. This car is not slow. Its straight 6 with turbo power has this a sleeper car for sure. If you opt for the polestar software upgrade for 1500.00. Youll make that a lively 350hp and 350lb ft. That mated with an impressive all wheel drive system its get up, pull your dress up and does a full haul to 60 in low 5 sec range. This is a great daily driver. Ive had my 2012 volvo s60 t6 in black for 3 yrs and just fall in love more and more with it everytime i drive it. I just did a rolling 40mph with a newer Camaro rs with the v6 which is 330 or so hp and was over 1 car length in front! She rolls out!!

We’ve owned Volvo’s in the past and our older son has our old wagon now our younger son had the S60. They safe, reliable and when kept up go for a long time. This S60 is great for a midsize. Good backseat room, even fir adults.

Big expense for numerous things needed past year 7 -all dangerous! Door locks malfunction Gas tank leak Mirrors falling off on highway PVC cracked Etc

S60 starting to use oil and oil needs to be added every 1500 miles. Miles only92,000- was hoping to drive the car for over 200,000. Not sure I would buy another Volvo. But, My first Volvo saved my life in a car wreck.

This car isn’t like the older square Volvo’s. This one is sleek, quick, and very comfortable on the inside. It turns heads when I drive up in it. I love it!
