This is my second Volvo. I first had a 2004 S60, which I traded in for this 2013 XC60. The SUV has a great ride and I love the ability to switch to a stick shift, which makes the car feel sporty. Overall, the car is trouble free. LIke me other Volvo, the transmission sometimes is hard to move. I actually had to replace the tranmission in the S60. This vehicle has traveled cross country, where it gets great gas mileage, with using regular gas, not high test. The city gas mileage, I live in Chicago, is not very good! The required maintenance from the Volvo dealer can be expensive, but repairs at the dealer I feel are overpriced! I got the extended warranty, which I feel was a waste of money. Overall, I really like the Volvo brand! They are fairly maintenance free and last a long time. My previous Volvo had about 110,000 miles and this one has about 63,000 miles.

This is my third Volvo that I drive (XC90, XC60 S60) , it hardly gives any problems, safe and fair in price.Keep maintenance on time and that's it.

I bought the XC60 for safety and after someone ran a red light and totaled the car I’m glad I did. The car looks great but I frequently found my self saying what now. These cars are known for windshield leaks and hard downshifts and need regular computer module updates. My wife loved the car. The safety factor was worth any problems we had.
