2012 VolvoXC60 For Sale

My wife and I traded in our 2007 Ford Edge for a 2016 XC60 R-Design Polestar. We looked at many other vehicles including the BMW x1, Volvo v60, Mercedes GLA, Lincoln MKC. To date, we could not be happier with our decision. The vehicle normally makes about 300 hp, but with the Polestar update it gets 325 HP and 350 lbft. It is much quicker than anything else we looked at. It is true that the infotainment system is dated, but in reality the number pad system is something you can use with your eyes on the road and is an interface most are used to and is simple to operate. The seats and leather are soft and comfortable and I have not noticed any quality issues yet. The car is no M or AMG, but it is exciting to see what Polestar can do with just a simple tune; I would imagine that their future with volvo is bright. The springs are a bit softer than I would like but firm enough to allow spirited driving without being crashy like the German competition. Based on reviews, I was worried about gas mileage but we are averaging around 22 with a lot of around town operation, on an engine that really hasn't been broken in yet, which is better than I expected. The luxury establishment (BMW, Mercedes) has its hold on peoples opinions but their entry levels are underpowered, loud and cheaply made once you really examine the interior quality. Out the door, the XC60 was significantly less than a used 2016 X1, despite being larger, faster and having more options. People really need to avert their eyes from the German manufacturers glare and look elsewhere. The domestics and lesser known european brands are making some hugely competitive vehicles.

I have aways wanted a Volvo and purchased the XC-60 AWD a year ago. Love, love, love it and recommend to anyone looking for an SUV. The safety especially in rainy weather is amazing. I feel so confident in heavy rains due to traction control, handling and weight of the SUV. During a recent ice/snow storm, yes in North Carolina, my husband drive it and there were no problems what so ever. We are getting ready to purchase a Volvo Sedan S60. Great on trips, love the confidence and reliability.

NEVER in my life did I think I would own a VOLVO, ya know...but this poped up on EBAY, I called the dealer, wanted it off their lot ASAP, IT was a JAGUAR/LAND ROVER dealer...they looked into financing, I bought without even sitting in it...was serviced monthly by VOLVO...called VOLVO AMERICA, for some info... XC60 went thru 20+ inches of snow for about 200 yds(ALL I pushed it)....turns on a dime, great steering, great brakes (HATE AUTO BRAKING/DOWNHILL)... Comfort level great, Im 6'1 200lbs and seat fits me like a glove(wish seat had air adj for dr seat bottom, surprised)...leather still looks new after 52K, this was very well taken care of and WILL be in the future...got a 100K mileage warranty, thru VOLVO... VOLVO PREM STEREO is fantastic,ONLY bad got dvd and single disc...the electronics are just outstanding...never wanted them, but the front, side and rear collision warnings are great....prevented one accident already, someone almost hit me from the side changing lanes. I wanted a SUV to carry a 10' long fly rod assembled, which this car does... ONLY hate is the color WHITE, just blends to much in a SEA of WHITE SUV'S in every parking lot...gotta figure out a way to COLOR some thing on top...thinking might WRAP radio antenna bright color... LOVE would recommend highly and have only owned 6 months...
