Reviews for Volvo S60
A lot car for the money
The Volvo S60 is an excellent value. The car isn’t too flashy or sporty but provides a good balance of luxury, sportiness, functionality, and high tech options. The fuel range is very good with three drive modes. Unlike some other cars with V-4 engines, the S60 has almost no hesitation. I drove a mustang v6 prior to this vehicle and the acceleration is comparable (but smoother in the S60). This is one car I hope to keep until the doors fall off!
Pros
- Fuel Economy: The car has three driving modes. I usually keep the car in ECO mode and will have a fuel range of 500+ miles
- Power: The V-4 turbocharge is extremely fast and responsive with no latency when accelerating
- Value: With Volvo, I feel the consumer’s money goes far. The car is a good balance of luxury, sport, and functionality. Additionally the technology options are very nice and user friendly.
Cons
- Cargo Space: Cargo space is a little on the smaller size; however, the interior cabin space is very spacious
- Cost to Maintain: Volvo can be pricey to maintain but the brand has a reputation of being very reliable
- Dashboard: The control panel is a central screen similar to an iPad. At first it was difficult for me to navigate and I was intimidated with the technology features but now I’m proficient.
One of my first favorite rides for a while
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+.
Pros
- Ride and Handling: Great size for this car.
- Interior Space: Beautiful, metallic accents, leather covers and soft touch surfaces.
- Styling: Beautiful front and back, stands out from all European designs
I did not think I could afford a car this nice!
I wanted a car suitable for long-distance commuting--100+ miles per weekday. It had to be comfortable, fuel-efficient, reliable, and safe, with a low cost-of-ownership. I also wanted a car with some power--being on the interstate in an under-powered car is scary when you need to accelerate. This car has all of that + it is very stylish. It was 4 years old when I purchased it, but with very low mileage & well-maintained.
Pros
- Seat Comfort: Since I started driving this car, my lower back pain is much better! Unexpected benefit.
- Fuel Economy: Fuel economy is impressive, especially given the size of the car & performance/acceleration capabilities.
- Cabin Noise: I had not realized how much less stressful it is to have a quiet cabin. Another unexpected benefit.
Cons
- Technology and Entertainment: Good capabilities, but it is taking me forever to figure out how to use them all. Not very intuitive.
