It the car checks out with minimal issues, consider buying it. Just expect it to cost a lot more to maintain than a similar Camry or Accord. The world record holder for miles on an automobile is a Volvo P with over 3 million miles all put on by a single owner.
I imagine that there are Volvo class 8 trucks that have exceeded that because a million miles on a class 8 truck is pretty ho hum. Even my '81 Chevy Citation one of the notoriously-bad X cars was more reliable than that totally terrible '74 Volvo. Is , miles a lot on a Volvo? Everyone I know that has ever owned a Volvo said it was their last one. GuruGC7DM answered about a year ago. My gently driven V60 turbo has been a big disappointment mechanically!
The turbo blew up at 90k, and I've had 6 other major warranty issues all under k. And Volvo Canada was less than helpful. Our family has owned 6 Volvos over the past 30 years, but I think this will be the last one!! Guru9D9FPZ answered about a year ago. I have a s60 2. I have only had to replace wear and tear parts on the car as long as you change the oil religiously mine will run forever.
I need a good reliable 4 door automatic car on a tight budget and this one seems to fit that budget. I carfax'd it and it has been in an accident but with no injuries, total loss, or airbags deployed After replacing the radiator in my volvo s60 it keeps shutting off after about a minute or two. Also, there is alot of weight on the front end. Does that cause handling problems?
My Volvo S60 T5 makes a brief chirping sound from a cold start in morning. Louis, Missouri; Georgia; Colorado, and everywhere in between.
Why is it so popular for long-haul voyages? Praise continues to roll in for the S60's supremely comfortable front seats and their massage function, along with the car's settled highway demeanor.
Staff editor Connor Hoffman did remark that Volvo's Pilot Assist driver-assistance system could use some recalibration, as the S60's lane-keeping function tends to unnervingly pull to the left.
The car's lack of cabin storage also drew ire, with complaints noting that even a Mazda Miata offers a bigger center console than the S60's paltry hold. Of course, a Miata doesn't have a 9. When it's not on the open road, we try to plug the S60 in as much as we can during day-to-day use, which isn't all that often for those of us who live in apartments.
Partially as a result, our car is averaging a disappointing 28 MPGe, despite its numerous travels. That's down from the 30 MPGe we saw at our last update and less than what the EPA estimates if the S60 were never plugged in at all 30 mpg. On the upside, some drivers have exceeded the car's advertised mile EPA-rated electric range on a full charge.
Assistant technical editor Maxwell B. Mortimer was even able to climb a steep mountain grade to a remote cabin in the S60's EV mode, which powers only the rear wheels.
Perhaps most important, especially for a vehicle that regularly ventures far from home, our Volvo continues to be reliable. A check-engine light cropped up around 18, miles and was found to be caused by a software issue; a quick reflash of the engine's computer at the dealership solved the problem.
And a 20,mile scheduled maintenance visit included an oil change, replacement cabin air filter, and an inspection, which we weren't charged for. With the summer travel season upon us—and many of us itching to finally enjoy it once again—our S60 should have several more states crossed off its list soon. Although we had to cancel most of our farther-flung travel plans this summer, our Volvo S60 T8 has had an eventful few months since it joined our long-term fleet in May. Thanks to its ability to swaddle its occupants in comfort, our South Carolina-built Swedish plug-in-hybrid sedan has racked up plenty of miles on the open road.
And with a total output of horsepower, it got a rigorous workout during its initial visit to the test track.
Our Volvo's odometer had miles on it when we first hooked it up to our testing equipment. Although the car weighs a hefty pounds, its pound-feet of combined torque made short work of its bulk, launching it to 60 mph in a scant 4.
That's slightly quicker than the Polestar-tuned V60 T8 wagon we tested last year, which had 15 more horsepower but was saddled with a few additional pounds. The S60's weaker grip and braking results—0. Being a plug-in hybrid, the S60 T8 is designed to be fuel efficient as well as quick. But we'll admit that we haven't been able to plug in the S60 to replenish its 9. Under normal circumstances, we'd leave it charging during the day at our office.
But that's not as easy to do now that we work mostly from home and don't always have an available power outlet or charging station nearby. We presume many plug-in hybrid owners invest in home charging stations or at least have a garage with a volt outlet. Yet, even without exploiting the car's claimed 22 miles of electric range as often as we'd like to, the S60 is averaging 30 MPGe, which is impressive for a heavy hp sedan.
That efficiency also provides the T8 with a good deal of highway range, with a few drivers recording miles or more between fill-ups. The supple front seats that we expect to find in a Volvo have bolstered the S60's case as a prime choice for longer trips. Buyer's guide deputy editor Rich Ceppos put more than miles on the S60 in a week and praised its supportive thrones and their massage function, which he said helped reduce back fatigue after 10 hours on the road.
Chief brand officer Eddie Alterman agreed: "I feel better after two hours in this car than I do before getting in. The S60's first scheduled maintenance visit at 10, miles included an oil and filter change plus inspections and a tire rotation.
Combined with its standard all-wheel-drive system, the snowshoes should help the S60 power through whatever slop accumulates on our roads over the next few months. If we have to cancel any more travel plans, it likely won't be because our Volvo got stuck in the white stuff. Volvo is at its best when it's a little weird.
