It's been good to me overall, despite what others warned me about previously. Everyone told me that it would be expensive to own a Volvo and that I'd experience problems. My experience has not borne that out at all. The only expenses I've had have been routine maintenance (brakes, a headlight, new belt at 120K, etc). The styling is super cute and expensive looking. I get asked all the time about my "expensive" Volvo. So, it's definitely been worth it for the professional image that I like to project. :-) The car is small which makes it easy to get around town in, and easy to park.
The Volvo XC60 drives and rides like a dream! When i first started looking for a car, I wasn't sure what make I was looking for but knew I wanted something safe and spacious. I got those things and more when I purchased this car. The seats are comfortable and the car handles well. I knew Volvos were quality but I didn't know how much more I was getting for the price! I love having Bluetooth capability, the Sirius radio and went ahead and renewed it when the 3 month trial ran out. I had an EXCELLENT experience purchasing my Volvo at Car Max- the sales person Lovie Pulliam was the best!
I've always liked the new Volvo style, but the new S60 in 2012 came out blazing. I had the premium design, all leather interior with, at the time, first auto-stop and accident prevention feature that was standard on all Volvos. That alone made the car 3X safer than other similar cars in the price range. The handling was always so smooth, love the turning radius, there wasn't any noise or crackling like in cheaper brands. I love that the interior surfaces were all soft, not cheap hard plastic, it makes a huge difference when you get into and out of the car banding, hands or feet by accident. It felt like the quality was all around me. I loved the connectivity to my iPhone, was always so seamless, and the trunk with folding seats was A+.
