Best & safeest vehicle we have ever owned

Other car manafacture brag about safety, Volvo just delivers. Amazing ride, solid feel and safety features. When you close the doors they have that great solid feel and sound, like a Mercedes. The seats are amazing. Any Volvo is not going to be inexpensive to buy or own, but the drive quality is amazing and you won?t find a less expensive vehicle with the same safety features offered on a Volvo. Unfortunately, some safety features are options so you have to find or buy one where someone paid for them. For some reason, it seems Americas won?t pay for safety. Our Volvo?s both have Adaptive cruise, lane assist, blind spot, adaptive HID headlights (turn with steering wheel), driver alert aids, collision control/pre braking, auto-brake/pedestrian collision as active safety features. If you compare, some of these feature are only available on high end Audi?s and Mercedes today. For a 6 year old car to have these features is amazing. Heck, some of these features are just being released to 2018 American cars. It all depends on what you see value in. How many hours a day do you spend in your car. How many distracted drivers are out there. What is your health and safety worth. Other car manafacture brag about safety, Volvo just delivers.

Love my Volvo

This is my 3rd Volvo. I had a 2002 S60 and loved it and then changed to a Sonata, XC90 and Jetta. Before that had a Lexus and Acura. This is my car. I just got a used one and it drives like a dream the interior is very nice. I got a back up camera installed in it by dealer for free. I had kept my other S60 for 9 years and hope to do the same with this one. I got the white with beige interior. I think the back seats are fine if you are short. I have 2 car seats in back and have more room than my jetta did. The trunk in on the small side but that is okay. Love the interior finishes and sunroof. I missed my auto headlights and roof. Got the extended warranty and this should be okay. This has all the safety features very HAPPY to be back in a Volvo. Volvo for life!!!

Love my VOLVO!

Wanted a Volvo for a long time. When it was finally time to purchase a vehicle there was not question as to where I was going to look. Was not happy with the original dealership (who are no longer in business) but the vehicle speaks for itself! best decision I ever made 1

This Car saved my life.

I have only own Volvo cars because they are strong and very safe. I never had a car accident until last month that when I had stopped another car hit me in the back at 50mph. My Volvo saved my life. The other car was completely destroyed. My Volvo had severe damage but I walked out of the scene with a head concussion and minor bruises.

A great car with an impeccable reputation

This will be my third Volvo and second S60. I did my research for the Year, Make and Model and decided this would be the best value for my money. The car has many great features found in more expensive luxury sedans. The three big reasons for purchasing this vehicle is its reputation for quality, comfort and safety. I put it through its paces on the test drive and it did not disappoint.

Fantastic and reliable car

I love it but the stick with the name VOLVO fell off and I have seen several of these cars without the name sticker. I owned an S40 and this didn?t happen.

My favorite Volvo so far

I love the solid feel of a Volvo. When you shut the doors, you know they are made with safety of passengers in mind. Volvo has always designed cars to protect the occupants. It is a pleasure to drive.
