Are XC60 owners happy?

It pulls like a steam train. I dread something major failing on it, but it would have to be very serious for me to consider saying goodbye to the car. Its the best vehicle I've ever owned and no dealer is going to get their hands on it.

What year? We're on our second with the 2.4 lump in 2016 manual guise... is 1st car wife has ever loved

Key thing is to stop corrosion with the likes of Lanoguard on springs, drop links & other underbody items.

Servicing is expensive, though with free annual Roadside assist every time worth the money.

Just budget in new shocks & possibly springs around 80k, upgrading to the likes of Koni etc & that love will be even more

I just bought my xc60 (2011 D5 r design awd) so I don’t know yet but after about 6 hours I like it a lot

Just traded xc60 2016 r design 2.4lump d5 for v60 b4

Great suv car after previous s60 d4
Comfortable 106k miles with easy access/ exit and great view
Easy driving with acc bliss and balanced power for weight
4wd with winter tyres meant security in adverse weather
Good load lugging
Good sound system, blue tooth

Silly / not good: handbrake position, rear fog light position, sat nav not in eyeline when driving - not good in congested city or busy complex motorway junction
Leg room in rear behind me was so so as I am 6’3” (but I wasn’t that passenger!)

New front springs at 104k, occasional warning lights and engine noises than before plus wanted tow bar for bikes so new ( to me) car or invest in the older one hence the change.

Looking forward to new v60 but it’s not the same!!

Best car ever by far. Best seats, easiest to drive and a true mile muncher. 77000 miles on mine and always volvo serviced which is still worth it.
I am not convinced the newer 2 litre is a better car.
Normal services plus one cracked front spring and new brakes all round , all by volvo.

Put ours in against an XC90 which has a better Google experiance. Not as glitchy and less problems with it booting up etc. XC60 was a fine car but had to move on after 18 months. Never really bonded with it if that makes sense. Cheers.

There is a steering pipe retaining screw recall on certain XC60's which is an inherent FORD problem which Volvo have developed a better design fix for ..

I've had numerous Volvos over the past 15 years the majority having the city safety feature on. I always knew what it was supposed to do but how daft would you be if you tried to test it and it didn't work. Grade 1 Plonker looking for a new front for your car. Just over a year in my XC60 for some reason the car in front of stopped short of a corner. I thought dear me I'm going to plough into the back of it. As I got closer my car braked like I didn't think possible. A bit like 3 big blokes with their foot on the brake pedal at the same time. Impressed yes. Damage to front of car avoided. Thank you City Safe!
