An underrated gem

I loved my s60. I drove it for almost five years and crossed the country with it several times. It is shockingly fast and sporty and has a good interior. There are a lot of blind spots to be aware of, and repair bills are astronomical, but overall I loved the car!

Do not purchase

Love at first site. Hate at first repair bill after warranty and all the oil changes, timing belt, etc.DO NOT BUY! No matter what you read. I have done research after the repairs were more than the car was worth! I only deal with the dealership. They will continue to do repairs, charge you until the engine goes out! I did my research after, too late! Do not believe the reviews. Something is really wrong with the combinations of parts. They told me it was a freak accident, when it stalled for the last time before I parked it. During warranty, I didn't realize! I believed in the name. I didn't realize it because warranty masked the problem the first three. Why? I trusted the name. I am not a mechanic, I am a teacher and I was cheated by the Volvo dealer! They should not sell this model and Volvo should be ashamed!!!!

She's a beauty!

Great car I've had it for eleven months! It has plenty of power. The turbo will have you feeling like you're in a jet! This will be a nice car for a single person.

2012 Volvo S60 T5 - Beautiful Car

The 2012 Volvo S60 T5 is an upgrade from my old used 2006 Volvo S40. The Volvo S60 is a well built car. Volvo is a very safe car and the most important factor for my recent purchase.

Safe, Reliable, with high gas effeciency

Most Relaxing ride

This is a great touring car. We have the T6 AWD. There is plenty of power and a ride that takes your mind off the day. One of the nicest features is the adaptive cruise that will pace the vehicle in front of you, and don't forget that wonderful turbo. Very comfortable seating, and decent mileage for what you get. The only drawback would be the 7.5 quart oil change.

Most reliable car I've ever owned

This car is comfortable, attractive, and although unpretentious, has a lot of kick with its 250 hp. There is a sport mode that adds a lot more torque and instant acceleration but I stick with the normal mode which adds its safety feature (automatically breaks for objects in front of the car). I bought the car for this feature in case I need an idiot proof failsafe solution if I ever am distracted while driving.
