By far the best Volvo that I have owned

As a lifelong Swedish car buyer (Saabs and Volvos) I can not say enough good things about this car. I was a die hard Saab fan in college in the 80's and 90's - living in a very snowy hilly town that my 900's handled with ease. Then I upgraded to a Saab 9000 Turbo and my eyes were opened to the luxury vehicle market. After a couple of mistakes with other brands, I settled in the mountains in Vermont, and was horrified to find that there were no Saabs and Saab mechanics in this area. So I made the switch to the Volvo XC70 and is was eye opening. After driving that XC70 to 210,000 miles with minimal repairs other than routine maintenance, and not a speck of rust appearing I needed to switch to a slightly smaller car due to the driveway at a new home being rather tight. I test drove the XC90 and decided I didn't need a vehicle with 3rd row seating since I don't have kids. Got in an XC60 and was instantly in love. Such pep and superior handling in the tight, twisty mountain roads here in Vermont. Incredibly comfortable interior and seating, and the car zips up the 1.5 mile, very steep and hairpin-riddled dirt road that I live on with ease - even when it is covered in ice. And I didn't even bother with studding my winter tires after speaking with the dealer. I am in LOVE with this car. :-)

Best car for teen dricer

This car is like wrapping your teen in a tank with auto-sensing brakes and blind spot sensors. It was a wonderful first car for my teen and I enjoyed driving it and the huge cargo space too.

Great car.

Bought new from Volvo of Seattle. Car is wonderful. Only problem is that Volvo only has one dealership in Seattle now and unfortunately it's located just north of downtown and takes over an hour to get to that side of town due to traffic. I think Seattle is large enough to have two Volvo dealerships, one on each side of town.

Looks complete, drives beautifully, smooth!

I think this SUV drives like walking in your favorite pair of shoes. It is comfortable, can take you where you need to go, fast paced for cruising. It is so comfortable and reliable, I LOVE it! The Volvo XC60 is the best of both worlds, driving higher up and yet, smooth.

My new Volvo!

A great small SUV that provides the comfort of a midsize with the handling of a car. Comfortable back seat with plenty of space in the back seat and storage. Easy to utilize back lift gate. Super smooth handling while still feeling solid and safe on the road. Sturdy and elegant interior and amenities and comfort for people with back problems like me. Love my new used T6- it?s a dream car for me!

Over 325K on last Volvo

I travelled in my work until this past summer. As a woman travelling alone, dependability is of primary importance to me. It's comfortable, safe and a really easy drive Thanks for making a great car!

Jeep owner for 27 years, this one ROCKS

More cargo space than the Liberty, the gas mileage is terrific for this type of auto ! I purchased this vehicle used (first time I have ever done that) and the vehicle looks amazing. The previous 2 owners took care of this and comment from people that stop me are amazed that it has the number of miles on it, that it has.
