    I think volvo has massively improved over the years, especially the styling is top notch. This is just a personal opinion but we all have our says

    I have owned mine for 4 months. Adjusting the dampers is a must to something in comfort and you can kind of leave it there. From dealer it was set to the stiffest on front and rear. I was real concerned, but after adjusting I was happy. 20 clicks in the front and 12 in the rear. Love the car, I don't really have issues with the changing of modes. I leave it in hybrid because the throttle response is better than in pure. One pedal tuning really is just amazing.

    I like Volvo but as reliable as a Jaguar

    I’ve had my white V60 for about a month. I’m coming from a BMW X5. We also have a ‘23 BMW i4 that my wife drives. While I was attracted to the V60 I was afraid that it wouldn’t measure up to the BMWs. So far, after about 1200 miles, it has. It’s terrific. I’ve read a lot of complaints about the screen, entertainment system, and related. I have minor complaints, but in a way I like it better than the new BMW system which I find to be overbearing. And after a couple days it becomes second nature. Pure mode is fine around town - very smooth, and spunky enough. Polestar mode is very fast and is a blast to drive. The Bowers & Wilkins audio system is extraordinary. That alone almost makes the car worth. The overall styling is beautiful… Swedish understatement.

    Getting a 2024 CPO in a few years sounds pretty tempting!

    My '24 S60 T8 Polestar is the best purchase I've ever made. Not a ton on the road. Definitely an "if you know, you know" type of car

    I have my eye on Volvo for their S Tier audio. I consider wagons the ideal mix of practicality, comfort, performance, etc. I want superb ride, nvh, comfort. Right now the XC60 appeals most to me, with air suspension and Bowers And Wilkins. Thanks for having me along!

    Thank you for the review…you should know that charging with 120v it will take approx 14-15 hrs to give you 100% battery…240v approx 5 hrs.

    Really like these. Best looking wagon for sure, and the performance to put a smile on your face.

    I have a ‘22 XC60 T8 Extended Range which is similar in performance. Just missing the suspension, B&W & the goldie bits 😂 absolutely LOVE this car.

    wagons are so smooth over horrible roads, the long wheelbase helps achieve that.
