2015 Volvo S60 D4 Excel 2.0 turbo diesel from South Africa

Summary:

Swedish luxury at its best

Faults:

The electric motor of the folding mirror on the driver's side malfunctioned. Repaired under warranty.

General Comments:

A good solid car and a pleasure to drive. Overtaking is a breeze and more than enough power. Still turns heads wherever I go.

The low profile rims are not the best idea. It's prone to be damaged by potholes and curb stones. Only a few mag repair shops can repair the diamond cut rims the Volvo is equipped with.

The car might also be a bit too low for people with mobility issues, but the XC60 is the perfect alternative if this is an issue.

Overall I love driving this car and it's very comforting to know it's one of the safest cars in production.

Biggest drawback is that I haven't experienced any joy with the dealers - have to watch over their shoulders if the car is booked into the workshop.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
