Love this car.

This car is perfect for me. I didn't want an SUV, but wanted decent cargo space. This is a great size wagon with plenty of space. Love it!

Very good comuter car

This is a small wagon chosen because I did no want a SUV but did want some space for hauling boxes. Volvo has not been a brand I've paid attention to, was surprised at how good it is to drive. Gas mileage is moderate but that probably a result of my driving style. The negatives: the AC is weak in this climate; the car is very nervous about any fixed object. Guess no one in Sweden parks facing a wall, pulls up to a curb next to a tree or goes up or down a sharply inclined driveway. Have turned off most of the proximity warning system because they're way too sensitive.

I love this car

I purchased this Volvo because I had driven a similar model on vacation a year and a half ago and fell in love with it then. Although the acceleration speed does always bother my wife, the handling allows us to go on curvy roads and now her car sickness is almost non existent.

an impressive, well built auttomobile

there is only one item about the car I questioned, e.g., gas mileage was way below posted..... also, the multi function center dash screen too complicated.

Reliable as a Volvo

I really like volvo for the safety and the fact that the interior is purified. Not too many gadget, buttons, or other things that disturbed you from driving. I love this car for the wagon style even if honestly the volume is smaller than some other wagon. However, the T5 270hp with all the features, easy maintenance and very quiet is a pleasure. For sure, will look for a Polestar as next one

Great Wagon!

Meet my needs. Traded away my F-150 daily driver for the V60. Needed a vehicle that would fit in the garage.

Great car!

For a "wagon" it's a really fun car to drive. Very understated styling, not like the cookie cutters out there. The T5 is a very responsive engine with power to spare. Lots of car for the bucks, and all wheel drive!

When you need an SUV but don't want an SUV.

SUVs are great, and they are certainly popular. But if you want car-like perfomance, handling, comfort and price, with cargo capacity similar to an SUV, the V60 should be at the top of your shopping list.
