Volvo just builds a safe car, and because of that, its cars typically score at the top of the crash test lists. Just picked up my 2024 XC60 B5 plus in November and I am loving it. Quiet, plenty powerful, and the interior materials and design are esthetically pleasing.

2023年5月21日 · Commenting again to confirm the rings were changed in MY17 (actually probably halfway through MY16) from a 2-piece to a 3-piece design which seems to have alleviated the issue. The Volvo TJ31216 only mentions 15-16 …

2023年1月7日 · Volvo drew us in with safety, but an S class is also extremely safe. A modern Honda/Toyota is also safe. The difference in net cost of ownership is a part of the equation. I love the Volvo styling and practicality in design.

2022年6月15日 · The 2012 S60 has the same problem. It's not just the 2013 up. I've had major oil consumption issues but I do my own maintenance and I don't take it to a dealer. I don't feel like being reamed by a dealer and have to driver 50+ miles just to have a Volvo dealer do maintenance. Volvo probably won't help in my case.

2022年12月22日 · i drop off my xc90 at late afternoon, took a rental car, and 2nd day in the morning, they called me back to pick it up. from the volvo app history, i saw my car only stayed inside their workshop for less 30m. and they drove 2 miles to test and make sure everything is ok. i guess its common enough so they dont need to do troubleshooting at all.

2021年11月5日 · Hi, owned many Volvos, many years, reliability is similar to other Euro cars, as another post mentioned ,older they are ,more issues will surface has been my experience, think turbo engines in general have more issues older they get, seals, plastic or rubber parts breaking due to heat we finally have New ,under warranty Xc40,2020, love it as long as under …

2023年4月9日 · Unfortunately, there aren't many other luxury hybrids to compare to, but still, Volvo is so far behind these mainstream brands. It feels like Volvo's hybrid engine is barely as efficient as the above non-hybrid versions. In addition, the Volvo requires premium fuel. Overall, doesn't lead to much in terms of cost savings.

2022年11月26日 · An independent shop specializing in Volvos or dealer ofc, because mechanics who haven't worked many Volvos won't know about specific issues with Volvos or lack special Volvo tools required for some uncommon services. (Or regular mechanics lack the Volvo maintenance software required to work on the car's computerized systems)

As for a fun cheap project get a volvo 740/940 turbo. 760/780/240 are also good options if they have the turbo engine. 1990+ is the better years for mods, 1992.5+ is the best. Easy to work on, easy to get mild power gains from, rear wheel drive with factory locker, tough body, usually leather interior, automatic transmission can take quite a ...

The S60 is the car that’s currently built at Volvo’s factory in South Carolina. The factory employees have a lease program to get any car they want at a pretty steep discount for a year, and the S60 is the least-expensive car to get on that program due to no import taxes paid.
