The Volvo S60 has a lower price and less country-club status than competitors from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Compared to the German competitors it falls short on refinement, driving fun and pizzazz.
As you'd expect from the brand, safety is a big part of the S60's package. It protects its passengers with a long list of advanced features, including the standard City Safety system, which can automatically brake the car to avoid or reduce the severity of a low-speed collision. Crash-test results are excellent as well.
In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.
