I bought my '11 S60 T6 Polestar Optimized a year ago with 113,000kms. Thanks to Kyle and some other YT Volvo owners I managed to change the oil, spark plugs and transmission fluid. I've also added a few things: LED front lights, LED interior lights, arm rest compartment tray, TFT upgrade, gear shifter upgrade, exterior lights switch upgrade (automatic lights) and a new skidplate with small panels for easier oil changes. It's fun to drive and super easy to repair (unlike other luxury brands)

Ive got a 2011 example that wasnt the best taken care of. Ive been fixing the issues that are coming up, and started with a list as long as my arm. I used to drive a jeep liberty, and I was always chasing an issue with it. With the Volvo though, it seems as my issues are dwindling. Im almost done with all of the repairs, just a rattly torque rod, and a sunroof that doesnt know where closed is. What I can say is that If you dont like to do repairs yourself, these can get pretty rough with their repair bills. But if you put in the time to research, there is a huge community who has experienced just about every problem with the cars that you can use to do the repairs yourself. Its intimidating at first, but after the first few times, the car boils down to being pretty simple and cheap to repair.

You wanted to buy a BMW as your first car after driving your mom's car? OMG dude what were you thinking. And now you claim that you want a car that won't make you think about reliability but you are attracted to Volvo? OMG dude. Look, clearly you do not have knowledgably family members who should have guided you on car ownership, so I'll help you. 1. If you want ultimate reliability, buy a Toyota. Toyota reliability is so undisputed that it is the number choice of vehicle for terrorists all over the middle east and Africa. Toyota cars are cars that you will hand down to your grand children after you have died of old age... that's how reliable they are. If you want something on the same level of luxury as an s60, look at the modern toyota Camry or Toyota Avalon (if you can afford it). 2. If Toyota does not have the car type or features you want, buy a Honda. Hondas are so reliable that if you google "car reaches 1 million km", the search result will always be full of Honda vehicles. A Honda that is similar in luxury to the Volvo s60 is the Honda Accord. 3. Whatever car choice and car brand you choose, manual transmission will ALWAYS last much longer than automatic transmission. So it will be up to you to decide if having the comfort of not having to change gears yourself is really that important to you. 4. Petrol ("gas" if you are American) engines are almost always much more reliable and cheaper to maintain than diesels. Whatever car you choose, always go for petrol engine. 5. Petrol engines with a turbo give much high performance, but the turbo's themselves usually can't last as long as the engine itself. So if you are buying a used car, try to avoid cars with turbos if you can. But a turbo dying is not too big a deal because it is not an immediate concern. If the turbo dies, the car will still be perfectly drivable, but it won't have the same sporty power that you are used to. 6. Don't buy a car that comes with a sunroof, or a convertible car. You'll get rain leaks eventually (especially in a convertible). 7. Don't buy a car with a smaller engine than 1.5l. Don't buy a car with fewer cylinders than 4. 8. Don't buy a car with more than 6 cylinders (like v8 twin turbos, etc). 9. Avoid All wheel drive cars. RWD cars go for longer without needing maintenance, but FWD are much cheaper when the time comes for maintenance. 10. The bigger the car's rim/wheel, the more exponential the price of the tire.

My dad used to drive a 2017 Toyota Auris hybrid and has now ordered a Hyundai Ioniq 5 so he knows about reliable cars and obviously wanted me to buy a Toyota. Of course I didn't want to buy a BMW for reliability, I know a timing chain repair could cost 4 thousand dollars. I was close buying a 520i but then decided I didn't want to spend thousands on repairs all the time. Volvos not being reliable is bullshit though, they do have quality issues and obviously require more maintenance than a toyota since they are premium but I don't mind spending a couple grand a year on it.

My housemate just got a T6. I think the reliability issues for this year are mostly the T5. Car is pretty sweet. It's almost too fast. I kind of enjoy my 2010 Volvo V50 because the engine is a 5 cylinder. The 2010 didn't have the same 5 cylinder as the 2012 and has been really reliable. I prefer 4 cylinder and 5 cylinder cars but I would get a later year 5 cylinder if you want more reliability. I feel with most six cylinder cars, they feel like the car drives rather than you drive the car. Hence I prefer 4 cylidner of 5 cylinder. My ideal would be a V50 turbo wagon or C30 coupe with low miles. The ride isn't as soft with the turbos as my car, which is just right. Cars don't cost a lot to maintain at all. And are SUPER CHEAP used on facebook.

Hey there, I have owned several T5 volvos with the same power train, that seems like a really good deal and low miles, the cars can be very expensive to fix, a turbo could be 2 to 3000, and the transmission could be 3 to 5000, there are many reports of S 60 T5’s having turbo and transmission issues, and also there are many people who have had no issues, most consumer reporting sources rate the S 60 as having average reliability. You would want to find out the maintenance record for this car, and if you could afford an extra $1500 I highly recommend getting a aftermarket warranty, a lot of them are scams so do your research and get the powertrain covered. Otherwise I highly recommend the firstOr second generation Acura TSX, or one of the most reliable cars out there if you can find a 2006 through 2009 I S250 or I S350. Or a 2007 and up ES 350, they are still beautiful cars with modern conveniences
