Total 48 Volvo S60 owner reviews
Pros: Over the years, it has proved to be a very reliable car on average and has had to undergo mostly routine maintenance. The car is simple in design and not cumbersome. The D5 engine has pleasant dynamics and sound. Very comfortable seating position (in R-design version). Various driving assistants available.
Pleasant fuel consumption even in dynamic driving.
For those whose needs are met by small/mid-size saloons, I would definitely recommend looking at this car.
Cons: I have not found any serious shortcomings. The only ones related to this particular model are - a relatively large turning circle compared to competitors; a relatively boring cabin and media system (however, the sound quality is very good with standard speakers).
The R-design with 18-inch wheels has a very firm ride - if I were to use the car long term, I would opt for 17-inch wheels.

Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Convenient and reliable car.
Cons: Boring! And I'm not talking about aggressive driving, or something. A good car, but it's all, reliable transport with which to move on a day-to-day basis.
Large turning radius, not everywhere can turn around with one touch, as it was with previous car who was same size.

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: The motor is powerful, if short trips are to be made, then it is better not. It is intended more for longer journeys, then fuel consumption is 6-7 l/100 km. Defrosting the front window.
Cons: Even with modern diagnostic methods, it is not possible to determine the cause of poor operation.
