Reliable stylish car

Meets my needs, and like exterior look. Interior, however, is made with a synthetic cloth & hard to keep clean. Would prefer leather interior. Would appreciate more if also had a sunroof.

Disappointed

I dreamed of owning a Volvo. I bought a slightly used one. One owner, older woman. I purchased from a Volvo dealership..16K miles. It ended up being a lemon. I felt it pulling back. My mechanic said, "GET RID OF IT." He did sone research and there was a known problem with this model and year and Volvo had yet to recall it. Aesthetically, it was a beautiful car. It was fast and I truly loved it. I had always heard Volvos were built to last. I'd love to own another. This time however, I'd buy it brand new.

Sporty town drive

Good car, great power and acceleration, very good gas mileage (averages 27 in town). Very reliable and well built, great for taking a sporty country drive or getting around in town.

Keep it up Volvo/Geely

The S60 T6 R-design..... what's there to say about it.... other than it is the most incredible piece of machinery ever. And I have been in a lot of high end vehicles.

Most comfortable, trouble free auto I've owned

This is the most cost effective vehicle we've ever owned. The only problem I've had was a battery that went bad but it was the original one and was at least 4 years old. Volvo Cars of Austin does the maintenance and all I do is fill the gas tank and drive it!

Great Car

This is our 2nd Volvo and we enjoy it very much. Bought it certified used and are very happy. Sporty, fun to drive, no mechanical issues at all. It's been a 5 star car just like our first one.

Reliability and Safety in a Stylish Package

My Volvo with its 225 HP 5-cylinder turbo engine can hustle when it needs to, but is proud at any speed. As a 4-Door Sedan, it's not meant to be a sports car, but it is very fun to drive. I often receive compliments on the car's appearance. Everything feels positive and I'm pushing 80,000 miles, in some ways, it still feels new. I'm in love with this car, and hope that if I upgrade, the next Volvo will be as reliable as mine.
