You are in the Volvo S60 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| Consumer Reports gives the Volvo S60 a high (but not its highest) rating overall. I need a Volvo for the ergonomic driver's power seat. I could be happy with either the S60 or the new c30. I really don't want to get a C30 though because it's too new to know how reliable it is. I like the style, the safety, and the MPG of the S60. I have not read many reliability complaints from owners in this forum or others. Am thinking of getting a 2007 S60 FWD (new). Am I right that this appears to be a very reliable car? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. | |

Replying to: massimo1 (Dec 23, 2007 10:48 pm) I don't know what the MPG is per Volvo, but I live in LA and do mostly city driving i.e., 10-30 mph most of the time. My MPG is averaging 16-17. No matter what gasoline grade I put in. I'm not thrilled by this. I believe it was touted as doing better than this. Otherwise, it's a solid car, not bad-looking car, great in a rear-impact due to fabulous headrests (and maybe in 2007 they fixed the side-impact problem with your right leg prone to hit the steering column. Anyone? Good luck! |

(Hi, I tried this in the prices paid forum. Got no answers.) There are still S60 2007s (not demos) in my area. Edmund's TMV for the basic S60 is $25,757. How much should I expect to pay for an extended warranty? Also I know there is a $4500. cash back to dealer ending on Jan. 8. Do you think there will be more incentives after Jan. 8, or will this one be extended? Any advice appreciated. |

| I have a 2001 Volvo S60. The electrical system has always been a problem: light bulbs out frequently, messages on/off without making adjustments. I recently took it in for inspection which it passed. Within a week, check engine light came on and went off. The following week the oil pressure light came on and went off. I called Volvo Service and the technician told me as long as there is oil in the car, it should be o.k. to drive. There was oil but I got a complete oil change anyway. the car seemed o.k., then the oil pressure light came on again, the engine was noisy and it seized. there are only 56,000 mile on this car. Volvo proposed to get me either a used engine or new one for up to $7600.00. I asked the dealer to contact the company for help and the best they could do is help close the gap between the $1500.00 price they offered me as is, and the cost of a newer Volvo. I was not ready to buy another car, so my option was to have it fixed at my own expense. I ended up taking the car to another service center, I located a used engine with 13,000 miles on it all at a fraction of the Volvo Service Center quote. Needless to say, I am heartbroken, upset, and disappointed about the product and the service. There is only one local Volvo dealer in the Williamsville N.Y. area, and they know it. I am notifying the company myself and hope for some equitable resolution of good faith. I once thought "volvo for life"...now, not so sure. | |
