Most fun car to drive

My s60 is very sporty like my old s40 the T5 has the power to snap your neck back or drift like a cloud so it can be a preppy sprt car and still be classy. I dig it

You need to experience the ride.

It took me all of 1 minute to know I made another great choice. You can?t beat the quality they put into this car. Perfection!

Nice looking car with electrical issue

The car is generally nice, however, after about 3 months, we've discovered quite a few annoying and down right disappointing issues with the car, most of which are electrical in nature. The car will occasionally shut off if in park and the driver opens the door. The SiriusXM radio will occasionally not allow you to change stations. The display will tell you you've selected a different channel, however the radio will continue to play the previous station. The Wifi is bordering on completely useless. It is very difficult to set up and the speed in the city is slow/poor. If you're in a rural area, it's completely useless. The retractable side mirrors will not open up if any door but the driver door is opened 1st. If the passenger is quicker at the draw, you will have to either relock the doors and then unlock them again and be sure to have the driver open their door 1st or, plan on driving with the side mirrors tucked it. The GPS system does not update for traffic and construction. The dual climate control has no way to sync the temps. This needs to be done manually. The car looks nice and is fairly comfortable for short trips however, long trips are not great as the seats are a bit stiff. Gas mileage is pretty good however, the car wants mid-grade fuel. Compared to the Buick Regal we had before this, for the price, features, comfort and lack of electrical issues, we'd go back to the Regal without question if we had the chance to do it over again.

It has a very comfortable ride. Great Safety features, like Bliss, back up camera. Nice leather seats, and more.

Both comfortable and sporty

This is my fourth Volvo S60 and we love it. The seats are the most comfortable of any in any vehicle we have driven. That they adjust to the individual is a bonus. The car has a lot of spunk, and yet drives smoothly and quietly.

Best of Many cars I've ownde

Being a performance-oriented owner, I never would have considered a Volvo previously. However, this is their Polestar model, with VERY uprated power, suspension, and other features. I have owned German, Italian and American cars and can say clearly this car's quality is on the par or ahead of all. Further, the seats are the most comfortable ever, performance is incredibly smooth and comprehensive. Appearance is sleek and modern, without gimmicks or excess add-ons. The Polestars are rare in the US, but are very much worth consideration if you are looking for sophisticated performance at a reasonable price.

Volvo are underrated

With the exception of not getting a passenger power seat. Love this car. Also there should be hooks or a cargo net in the trunk. But I guess I can always get after market.

LOVE THIS SPORTY CAR

I was used to driving an SUV but this vehicle sold me on a sedan. It has a luxurious ride, quiet compartment and is very stylish!

This car rides like a dream

My husband did a lot of research on Volvos and we wanted something that was good year round. Love the size and luxury feel of it.
