Christina S., NC (2011 Volvo XC60)"peppy 6 cylinder engine; tight, responsive handling; controlled ride"
Anonymous, TN (2011 Volvo XC60)"Acceleration is reassuring, and handling is very responsive. Adaptive cruise control is a very desirable feature, along with other built-in safety systems. Warning lights and messages are particularly sensible and responsible. When a tire picked up a nail, the low pressure message first came on, followed by a more stern warning to pull over and repair the tire as pressure continued to get lower. I was able to drive to a safe, lighted location, where Volvo On-call quickly showed up and changed the tire late one night in NYC."
Paula V., VA (2011 Volvo XC60)"It has plenty of get up and go, but is not a bomb. I don't want a bomb. The car is very responsive and handles exceptionally well."
