I have owned this car, certified pre-owned, since 8,800 miles (approx.). I've put a little over 5,000 miles on it since, and I can't say much of anything negative about it. Ember Black Pearl metallic paint is a WONDERFUL color. If there is anything I would improve, it would be the dashboard. There is an area around the central air vent that's missing an aluminum ring around it (compare it to the outer air vents), and I wouldn't mind having the dashboard wrapped in stitched leather. (It's soft-touch plastic.) Mercs, Jags, Lexuses and Audis probably have marginally-better attention to the finer details.
That being said, short of a few niggles on the interior, there is absolutely NO shortage of comfort. The leather and seats are soft, sumptuous and supportive enough for the average sport driver, though those dedicated to the art would likely prefer a REAR-wheel drive car. The rear seat room is a little tight so I wouldn't recommend it for VERY long hauls. You better not mind frequent trips to the grocery store because of its small trunk. And if you get the Sport Package, be prepared to feel the imperfections in the road.
On the flip side, with the sport suspension, it corners every bit like a BMW or a Cadillac. It's a beautiful, stylish and unique car that's a fantastic alternative to the more common German choices. It feels put together like a drum, and projected reliability (and experienced, in my case, so far) is excellent. Fuel economy is terrific (I only fill up about once a month AND it takes Regular gas), and it's a wonderful value if you're buying CPO. For the same price as a mid-range Camry or Accord, you can buy this beautiful, efficient and stylish full-on luxury car, fully-loaded, fast and fun. And its base engine is equal or superior to the competitors' offerings in both power and efficiency.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended.…

I bought a Ice White 2014 Volvo S60 T6 Platinum new from the dealer in Jacksonville, FL and had it shipped to me in Wisconsin. End of year savings and I paid around $37,500 - an excellent discount to the sticker. The dealer had mine outfitted with the 19" Bor wheels and all-season P7 rubber. I made the mistake of spending $2,200 on 17" BBS wheels and Michelin snow tires from the Tire Rack. I say mistake only because the car handled Wisconsin winters just fine with the P7's. I put the BBS wheels on once and never again. Anyway, I loved the car. It handled great - stayed relatively flat in curves and it was as quick as I ever wanted with 300HP and 325lb torque. The inside was as roomy as the F150 Lariat I traded in on it. It looked little from the outside but the inside front was wide and roomy and a great place to sit for as long as need be. I will say the 19" low profile wheels made the ride a bit harsh on the lumpy Wisconsin roads by me but I got used to it - my wife not so much. Never had a single problem with it and when Volo says service is included they mean it - wiper blade refills included and my dealer had a free loaner policy. Kept it for 70,000 miles and since the free maintenance ended at 50k I just decided to get something newer - wish I'd kept it for another 20-30k miles. Great car!…
